Description: | These twelve examples of scarab moulds feature not only the standard beetle but also some facial designs. Excavated by Flinders Petrie in 1886.
Tell Nabesheh was occupied from about the XII Dynasty onwards but the present ruins date from much later. The cemetery that was uncovered by Flinders Petrie dates to the XXVI to the XXX Dynasties and he identifies it with the ancient necropolis of Am. A scarab factory was discovered where scarabs were made from pottery.
