Scarab of Wah: State II

Scarab of Wah: State II

Who do you think that young nubile

Maid of the Nile was

to whom the young Pharaoh

gave this first of centuries of scarab jewelry?

A princess? The daughter of The Commander

of the Royal Reed Yacht?

Or perhaps his chamber maid

whom he loved best of all.
