Scaraboid engraved with a Persian male and a woman. The man wears a soft cap and tunic over a sleeved and trousered dress. He rests his left hand on his hip, his right on the shoulder of the woman who holds a flower up to him in her left hand, a wreath in her right. She wears a loose-sleeved chiton and wears her hair in a pigtail with three bobbles at the end. Ground line.
