Scarab Amulet - Egyptian Scarabs for Sale - Artemis Gallery

The scarab was of prime significance in the funerary cult of ancient Egypt. Typically carved from green stone to represent the dung beetle, scarabs were held sacred by the ancient Egyptians as a symbol of the motive power of the sun. The hieroglyphic images (cartouches) convey ideas of transformation, renewal, and resurrection. Excavations of ancient Egyptian sites have yielded images of the scarab in bone, ivory, stone, Egyptian faience and precious metals, dating from the Sixth Dynasty up to the period of Roman rule.
