There are hardly any items for sale beyond page 29 on the gallery here.

I have left so many sold items on show (and in the sold archive) as many collectors have said they find such photos and information useful to have.

A rather rare royal scarab for a 14th dynasty king.

Although  there is some damage at the hole ends the cut base is  totally intact.

15mm

According to Ryholt's 1997 book, Sheshi is attested by 396 seals alone which is 3 times more than the next highest figure of 123 seals

for Yakbim Sekhaenre who is another Asiatic ruler in Egypt whose precise dynasty or timeline is unknown.

As it  is not certain that the prenomen Sekhaenre belongs to Yakbim one cannot be precise about the dating

Ryholt places him  1805 BC - 1780 BC

Price: sold GBP
