DECORATIVE SCARABS: TWELFTH TO EIGHTEENTH DYNASTIES. 1-18. Rope patterns. This series ranges in date from the Twelfth Dynasty onwards to the time of Thothmes III. The evolution of simple to complex forms is interesting. Scarabs of the types 5-7 and 10 are common. 1. Benson. 2. B.M. 3. Benson. 4. Benson. 5. H-P. 958. 6. Ashm. 7. Amh. 8. Alnw. 9. Ready. 10.

This series ranges in date from the Twelfth onwards to the Eighteenth Dynasty. The type 24 is I believe, peculiar to the reigns of Thothmes I and Hatshepsut. 19. Evans. 20. B.M. 27013. 21. Newb. 22.

Types 1 and 2 are very common, and all the specimens that I have seen of these two types are certainly of the Hyksos period. 1. Evans. 2. Hood. 3. B.M. 27782. 4-36. Coil and loop patterns. Types 4 and 5 belong to the Hyksos period; the other types range in date from the Twelfth Dynasty onwards to the Eighteenth.
