介绍（中）	圣甲虫的翅膀没有标明，但背部装饰着精细切割的树枝。这是第二中间时期（青铜时代中期晚期，约公元前1700年至1500年）迦南圣甲虫的常见特征。圣甲虫的下侧显示了一个站着的拟人化人物，长着鳄鱼的头，手里拿着一个面向他的uraeus。另一个乌雷乌斯站在他的脚下，背对神。下面放着一个装饰有垂直影线的大篮子。类似的构图通常显示带有uraei和neb标志的人形或鹰头神；在这一时期，鳄鱼头的神很少出现在圣甲虫上。尽管圣甲虫是迦南人制造的，但这个数字很可能代表埃及鳄鱼神索贝克。图案上装饰着阴影，这也是这种金龟子的代表。圣甲虫的设计以及背部和腿部的细节将其归入青铜时代中期（约公元前1640年至1500年）的后期。
介绍（英）	The wings of the scarab are not indicated, but the back is decorated with finely incised branches. This is a common feature on Canaanite scarabs of the Second Intermediate Period (late Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1700–1500 B.C.). The underside of the scarab shows a standing anthropomorphic figure with the head of a crocodile, holding a uraeus that faces him. Another uraeus rises up at his feet, facing away from the deity. A large basket (neb), decorated with vertical hatching, is placed below. Similar compositions generally show human figures or falcon-headed deities with uraei and neb-signs; crocodile-headed deities are not frequently depicted on scarabs during this period. Even though the scarab is of Canaanite manufacture, the figure most likely represents the Egyptian crocodile god Sobek. The fact that the motifs are decorated with hatching is also representative for this type of scarab. The design as well as the details on the back and legs of the scarab assign it to the later phase of the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1640–1500 B.C.).
