NME 715 :: scaraboid, seal, plaque

Object description: A rectangular shaped scaraboid (seal plaque) with sunk relief decoration on both sides. Pierced lengthwise. On obverse there is a recumbent ram facing to the right and in front of it a raised uraues is visible. The ram wears an intricate crown. Above this scene there are hieroglyphs, which read Imn-Ra. On reverse there seems to be two striding male deities, facing to the left and in front of them stands an offering table (?). The leftmost deity wears a double feathered crown, which would identify him as Imn-Ra. The deity to the right is falcon headed, surmounted by a solar disc (Horus?).
