Description
This ancient Egyptian seal ring, featuring a faience scarab, dates back to the New Kingdom period, between 1550 and 1070 BC. The ring is sized US 9, with the bronze band holding the intricately carved scarab seal. Scarabs were highly symbolic in ancient Egypt, representing the cycle of life and resurrection, often associated with the sun god Ra. The bottom of the seal is inscribed with hieroglyphs, which were used to convey names or magical phrases to protect the wearer. This ring combines functionality with profound cultural and religious significance, exemplifying the Egyptian tradition of imbuing everyday objects with spiritual meaning. As a well-preserved piece of ancient art, it offers a direct link to the worldviews and aesthetics of one of history's most remarkable civilizations.
