Egyptian Steatite Scarab - Protection / Good Fortune

Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Second Intermediate Period, 15th to 17th Dynasty, ca. 1650 to 1550 BCE. A hand-carved steatite scarab of yellow-white hues and of ovoid form with a suspension hole drilled lengthwise through the body. The topside bears insectile features such as sinuous legs, a trapezoidal head, and a folded wing carapace. The underside shows several inscribed hieroglyphs including a heart-and-windpipe, 2 wadjet eyes, an indiscernible glyph above the eyes, and a pair of crowns, perhaps the Deshret - crown of Lower Egypt - or the Pschent - crown of both Upper and Lower Egypt. The hieroglyphs on this scarab would be intended as protective iconography and a means of imparting good fortune on the wearer. Size: 0.55" L x 0.4" W (1.4 cm x 1 cm)

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Richard Fells collection
