1977.112.257 The heart scarab is a small artefact measuring 30 mm x 50 mm x 70 mm, and was collected by Francis Chatillon Danson during 1926 from Northern Africa Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead was inscribed for Khnum http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/wml/collections/antiquities/ancient-egypt/item-317198.aspx Heart scarab of green jasper inscribed with 11 horizontal lines of hieroglyphs on the underside, Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead, and a short incised inscription at the tail which is partly obscured by gold band. Possibly inscribed for Khnum? Strips of gold around the base, across elytra and down marking division of wing cases. Clypeus, head, prothorax and elytra are all clearly marked. An exceptional example of the late New Kingdom. Sometimes a magical spell (Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead) was written on the scarab; it silenced the heart and guaranteed entry into the Afterlife.
