Egyptian Scarab With Pharoah Statue - Made in Egypt

This sculpture is heavy and highly detailed. There is a seated pharaoh on top and two carved cartouche symbols on the sides. There are many beautiful symbols on the base.

Made in Cairo, Egypt and collected by me on one of my many buying trips to Egypt. Your order will ship in a box with hieroglyphic symbols --perfect for gifting!

The ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab was the earthly manifestation of the god Khepri, and pushed the sun across the sky each day, only to disappear and magically re-appear the next morning. As such, it is a powerful amulet for self-creation, transformation, and re-birth. They were worn or carried by the living, and also buried with the dead to help them on their way to the afterlife. The base was usually inscribed with designs or hieroglyphs to form an impression seal.
