Description
This stone scarab amulet from medieval Egypt, dating back to between 1000 and 1200 AD, measures 3.5x2.5x2 cm (1.38x0.98x0.79 inches). Scarabs were enduring symbols in Egyptian culture, associated with the sun god Ra and the idea of rebirth and regeneration. Even into the medieval period, the scarab continued to hold significance, bridging the gap between ancient traditions and evolving practices. Carved from a speckled stone that mimics the variegated appearance of a real scarab's shell, this figure exemplifies the continuation of ancient amulet-making techniques. Its well-preserved condition and historical significance make it a valuable piece for those interested in the legacy of Egyptian iconography through the ages.
