This scarab was offered on Ebay. The inscription refers to Ramses II: Neb User Maat Re Setep En Re, Nefer Rennut, see Newberry 1906, Pl. XXXV, 2. Note the strange brown incrustation. For an original with this inscription see menu: My Scarab Collection.

This is a good fake. It clearly refers to Old Babylonian seals, the stone (hematite) is correct and there is a parallel in Moortgat, see picture. The bodys are too long and too thin and note the remaining auxiliary lines and drill holes. D. Collon lists a " busy, hatched style from the 19th century", see picture. This seal possibly belongs to this group.

These are excellent fakes. The seal above imitates an Akkadian goup (Shamash rising) but usually Shamash is worshipped by adorants on seals of this group. Note the saw in the left hand of the god Shamash. The seal below is a mixture of Akkadian and Old-Babylonian styles - very probably it was made by the same hand. Note the god Shamash this time holding a sceptre in his hand and kicking down an enemy.

This seal is a mirror inverted copy of an original, published in Beatrice Teissier, Ancient Near Eastern seals from the Marcopoli collection, 1984, cat. no. 286. Below see other parallels in Frankfort 1939.
