Skarabäus aus Ägypten mit Hieroglyphen - Stein (Mineralstein)
Sliced and carved Egyptian scarab, restored.
The scarab from Egypt was seen in mythology as a
holy animal. The dung beetle, which has the habit
of pushing dung balls, was seen as the force behind
the daily cycle of the sun that rises in the east and
sets in the west. The beetles also seemed to spontaneously originate
from manure, because it was not known at the time that the larva
(which looks different) pupates and ends up in the manure.
I presume 19th century but may also be older
in very good to excellent condition
231 grams.
Diameter 9 cm
Height 4 cm.
Will be very carefully packaged and shipped with a track & trace number
