I'm offering a very interesting private name scarabs from my own collection.

These types of scarab which bore the name and titles of important administrators were made and used in the Middle Kingdom and Second Interemediate Period.

This one  is inscribed The Royal Seal Bearer and High Steward, Amenemhat Si-Satet

It is 18mm. long.

The name means "Amenemhat, child of Satet," it  suggests that this person was at "Ibw", now called Elephantine an important island on the Nile , the administaitive centre of ancient Egypt's southernmost province and Satet was the local deity of Elephantine It is dated tio the late Middle Kingdom/very early Second Intermediate Period. 

A  Royal Seal Bearer (also known as the Royal Sealer) was a high-ranking official who bore the royal seal and acted as a representative of the Pharaoh. A High Steward (or Chief Steward) was responsible for the management and administration of a specific royal estate. The two titles were fairly frequently held by the same person.

Unfortunately nothing else is known about this person and this scarab is not recorded anywhere else as far as I know.

Ex my own collection. Acquired 2001.
