Item Details
Description
Egyptian turquoise coloured faience scarab beetle amulet. Mounted on green velvet in gilt frame. Measures 6"x4 1/2"x1". Weight 6 oz. The scarab is representative of the Egyptian God Khepri who was connected with the scarab beetle, because the scarab rolls balls of dung across the ground, an act that the Egyptians saw as a symbol of the forces that move the sun across the sky. Khepri was thus a solar deity. Young dung beetles, having been laid as eggs within the dung ball, emerge from it fully formed. Therefore, Khepri also represented creation and rebirth, and he was specifically connected with the rising sun and the mythical creation of the world.
