Hedgehog-scaraboid dedicated to Khonsu
The base of this hedgehog scaraboid shows hieroglyphs that form the inscription “Hs Khnsw m wAst” (‘praise to Khonsu in Thebes’). Although such hedgehog scaraboids flourished during the Middle Kingdom, parallels for the inscription point to a date in the 25th dynasty.
