One scarab with the underside decorated with a domestic scene of a draped woman, wearing a long chiton with detailed border and himation draped over her arm, carrying a water jug and a branch, a lion's head water spout with stream of water emerging from it's mouth, all within a hatched border. For a similar depiction of a water spout cf. J. Spier, Ancient Gems and Finger Rings, The J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, 1992, p. 69, no. 141.
The other scarab in a globolo style with two frontal horses. For the type cf. J. Boardman and M-L. Vollenweider, Catalogue of the engraved Gems and Finer Rings, Greek and Etruscan, Oxford, 1978, pp. 62-65, nos 262-278, pl. XLII.
