Summary

Description
English: Impression of a Levantine cylinder seal bearing an ancient Egyptian royal name. Once tentatively read as "Khondy" and attributed to a Hyksos ruler of the Second Intermediate Period, it was also attributed to Neferkare Khendu of the First Intermediate Period and, in more recent times, to the last of the Hyksos kings, Khamudi. Today is likely that the cylinder cartouche contains some "space-filler hieroglyphs", is datable to the late Middle Kingdom or early Hyksos period, and that it comes from Byblos.
Green jasper, 18th-17th century BCE, now in the Petrie Museum (UC 11616). More information here.
