Scarab with Red Crown Design ca. 1550-1480 B.C. Early New Kingdom Early Dynasty 18 scarabs (ca. 1550-1480 B.C.) show a strong resemblance to early Middle Kingdom scarabs (late Dynasty 11-early Dynasty 12, ca. 2030-1850 B.C.) in regards to the shape and details of their backs and sides. This can also be observed in the decorations on the underside. While some compositions show the introduction of new elements, such as the name of the god Amun, many designs are reminiscent of the Middle Kingdom. This archaism’ can be explained by the fact that, after the end of the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1550 B.C.), Dynasty 18 rulers reestablished Thebes as Egypt’s capital, as it had been at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom. This scarab shows two merged L-shaped motifs with a spiral, which are often interpreted as stylized versions of the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. Scarab with Red Crown Design 545249
