Scarab Inscribed with Hieroglyphs ca. 1850-1640 B.C. Middle Kingdom The majority of design scarabs of the late Middle Kingdom (late Dynasty 12-Dynasty 13, ca. 1850 -1640 B.C.) are decorated with symmetric compositions of hieroglyphs and/or scrolls. These signs are not meant to form words but are chosen for their positive, protective meaning. This scarab shows pairs of wedjat-eyes and the foreparts of a lion, signs that are frequently used to form symmetric compositions. The other signs and symbols, such as the papyrus, the crowned uraei (aroused cobras) and the hieroglyph for good and beautiful (nefer) reinforce the positive message of the design..

From Egypt, Memphite Region, Lisht North, cemetery south of pyramid below House A2:3, Pit 497, MMA excavations, 1913-14. late Dynasty 12-13
