AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Discover a powerful symbol from Ancient Egypt: a winged scarab with the four sons of Horus, dating from the Late Period (ca. 664–332 BCE).
The scarab stood for rebirth and protection, closely connected with the sun god Ra and the daily cycle of rising and renewal. The spread wings symbolize divine protection and eternal life.
Under or beside the scarab are depicted the four sons of Horus — Imsety, Hapy, Duamutef and Qebehsenuef — protectors of the internal organs and guardians of the cardinal directions. They played an essential role in the mummification process and the journey to the afterlife.
This object embodies the deep religious symbolism of the Late Period, in which ancient traditions were revived and amulets played a central role in daily and spiritual life. A particularly collectible object with rich mythological meaning and a timeless appearance.
