Context (Other owners)
The underside of the mount has had the name 'Nahman' crossed out. It is possible therefore that this scarab came to Acworth via the notable collector and antiquities dealer Maurice Nahman. Nahman's collections were sold from the 1920s onwards from his own gallery in Cairo, as well as Christies's sales in 1937 and included in 2004, and a sale held at the Hotel Drouot in Paris in 1953.
