Item Details
Description
Representing the Coptic Byzantine period of Egypt, this limestone scarab figure from 300 to 600 AD measures 2.5x2x1.5 cm (0.98x0.79x0.59 inches). During this era, traditional Egyptian motifs like the scarab were integrated with Christian symbolism. The lack of seal carving indicates its use more as a symbolic or decorative piece rather than the traditional seals of earlier periods. This piece embodies the cultural and religious transitions of Egypt during the time, showcasing a blend of ancient Egyptian beliefs and the growing influence of Byzantine Christianity. The simplicity of the figure, combined with the historical significance of its iconography, makes it an attractive item for collectors interested in the intersection of ancient civilizations and early Christian art.
