介绍（中）	大约在公元前一千年开始，腓尼基的篆刻家采用了圣甲虫，这是埃及复兴的象征。在典型的腓尼基风格中，印章上装饰着脱离上下文的埃及图案，有时与非埃及动物主题并列。受欢迎的主题包括荷鲁斯的出生，以及他母亲伊希斯在婴儿时期抚养他的场景。有翅膀的保护神和精灵也是最受欢迎的主题。从图像上看，公元前八至七世纪的印章与腓尼基雕刻的碗和象牙有着密切的关系。腓尼基圣甲虫海豹在公元前五至四世纪达到流行高峰，当时它们遍布地中海。撒丁岛上的塔罗斯市是主要的生产和分销中心。此时，这些印章不仅雕刻了埃及主题，还雕刻了伊特鲁里亚和西希腊的图像在这只圣甲虫上，两位戴着太阳盘头饰的护翼女神站在埃及神奥西里斯的侧面。上面是一个有翼的太阳圆盘。一条线围绕着场景，人物站在下面用十字线装饰的一条地线上。
介绍（英）	Around the beginning of the first millennium B.C., Phoenician seal engravers adopted the use of the scarab, an Egyptian symbol of regeneration. In typical Phoenician fashion, the seals were decorated with Egyptian motifs that are juxtaposed out of context, sometimes with non-Egyptian animal subjects. Popular subjects included the birth of Horus and scenes of his mother Isis nursing him as an infant. Winged protective deities and genies were also favorite themes. Iconographically, the seals of the eighth to seventh centuries B.C. have a close dependence on Phoenician carved bowls and ivories. Phoenician scarab seals reached a peak of popularity in the fifth to fourth centuries B.C., when they spread throughout the Mediterranean. The city of Tharros on Sardinia was a major center of production and distribution. By this time, the seals were carved with not only Egyptian themes but also Etruscan and western Greek imagery. On this scarab, two protective winged goddesses wearing sun-disk headdresses flank the Egyptian god Osiris. Above is a winged sun disk. A line borders the scene and the figures stand on a ground line decorated below with crosshatching.
