Objekt:

 Skarabäus (§ 36-131), Enstatit (§ 386-390), 13* x 11,2 x 6 mm.

Datierung:

 Frühe MB IIB (1700-1600).

Herkunft:

 Tell Bet Mirsim, Tomb 500, Field Reg. no. 8; Tomb 500 produced MB IIB, LB II and Iron II finds; the dates of the glyptics fit only the earliest (MB II) period of burial. It is, however, possible that four Late Bronze Age glyptic objects that were attributed to MB II Tomb 510 (Keel 2010: Bet-Mirsim Nr. 89-92
Keel 2010:
Nr. 89
Nr. 90
Nr. 91
Nr. 92
) belong to this tomb (for a possible mixture between those two tombs, see below, Tomb 510 and chapter 2 in Ben-Arie 2004: 11-122); Frühe MB IIB (1760-1630).

Sammlung:

 Beth-Shemesh, IAA Storehouse, inventory no. 81-2006.

Darstellung:

 Stylized and symmetric cross-shaped floral motif (Keel 1995: § 494); in addition to the four basic „leaves“ there are four additional leave-like elements similar to Keel 1997b: Tell el-˓Aǧul Nr. 835; they have more often the form of spirals; s. Jericho: Kirkbride 1965: 603 fig. 285,19; 606 fig. 286,1; in the center and in each of the four quarters formed by the cross-shaped motif a double circle with a dot (Keel 1995: § 490); cf. Keel 1997b: Tell el-˓Aǧul Nr. 633; Keel 2010: Betaniën Nr. 6; Tel Aviv Harbor: Leibovitch 1955: 17 fig. 6,20); the two upper and the lower circles are connected by a loop; local.
