Palestine Hyksos scarab ring from Beth Pelet dated 1650 – 1550 BC

Hyksos scarab on bronze ring.
The base depicts a striding falcon-headed god and is represented on top of the hieroglyphic sign for ‘lord’, neb. The deity wears a pointed kilt and holds a lotus flower in its left hand. The cross-hatched pattern on the kilt and the hollowed out executon of the scene are characteristic of the local Canaanite scarabs, while the imagery and mythological motifs are completely Egyptian. T.F. 1012
