Carved in the a globolo style. On the face, a man riding a stag(?) left; hatched border. On the reverse, the scarab's legs are in relief; the thorax is hatched and the elytra outlined; the winglets are distinguished by a single diagonal line; the plinth is plain. There are large chips from the back and the face of the scarab. Bronze accretions remain in the drill hole.
