Engraved Gem with Uterine Symbol and Egyptian Deities
View through Harvard Museums
Hematite uterine intaglio. On one side, there are four figures surrounded by an ouroboros and inscription, perhaps the magical Soroor-Logos. At left is Isis, standing, then Harpocrates sitting on Bes, Chnoubis sitting on a uterus, and a ram-headed figure sitting on a key. On the other side, a falcon-headed winged scarab sits on a uterus, surrounded by a spiraling Greek inscription, in two rows, and a beveled edge, which also bears an inscription.
