View translationAncient Egyptian Blue Faience Scarab (No Reserve Price)
No. 88548635
An ancient Egyptian scarab moulded from blue faience. The obverse features simple detailing, to depict the head and humeral callosities. The flat reverse is unworked. The scarab is pierced longitudinally for suspension. Earthly encrustations to the surface.
The scarab beetle was an exceedingly popular symbol in the art of Ancient Egypt, thought to represent the sun god, Ra. The Ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab beetle rolling its ball of dung across the desert mirrored the journey of the sun across the sky from day to night. As the beetle laid its eggs within the dung, it became a symbol of rebirth and regeneration.
Measurements: L 1.3cm x W 0.9cm x H 0.6cm
Provenance: Ex-AH collection of scarabs, London 1980-2000's.
