These lines continue down the back to separate the wing cases from each other. They then curve back up and around along the outer edge of the wing cases. The legs are given in relief; and the hairs on the front legs are indicated. The scarab is not pierced for suspension. Condition: Small nicks and scratches; darkening in hollows; white incrustation by legs.
