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

 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 Wab Priest in charge of a phyle, Kemes.
(A phyle is a group of workers)

This seal is not known elsewhere and hence is possibly unique.
The title itself is very rare: only known from a papyrus from Kahun and two 13th dynasty stele at Abydos.

It is is quite large (for a private name seal) , 25mm.  

Acquired CJ Martin 1994
Price: 1975 GBP
