Miniature seals were carried, or kept in the later periods of Ancient Egypt. They often had "catch phrases"; for example: "Amun-my-Strength". (Amun-my-Rock). To the ancient Egyptians, The scarab was also used as a holder or medium for personal name seals. A figurine of a scarab or an oval tablet would be carved out of stone, and then on the smooth stomach of the scarab or the amulet, the engraving of a seal was made. Later, this oval image was used for the representation of the cartouche, or name/title seals
