Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Ancient Egypt, Late Period, ca. 600 to 30 BCE. A large, mold-made terracotta scarab with the rounded body form and a flat base. Size: 3.5" L x 3" W x 1.6" H (8.9 cm x 7.6 cm x 4.1 cm)

The scarab was a hugely popular form for over a thousand years in ancient Egypt, a symbol with staying power similar to that of the Christian cross; they seem to have been worn and carried by the living, although by the time of the Third Intermediate Period, they had also become part of the increasingly elaborate battery of items to be placed into graves for protection of the dead. This one may have been placed inside the wrappings of a non-elite mummy to provide protection.
