AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

古代エジプトの軟玉( steatite )のファラオハイエログリフ付きの蠥冠形 scarab。表側には成形頭部と前胸板が描かれ、前胸と鞗板を区切る線が入る。裏側には四つのはっきりとした象形文字が二行に並ぶ。上段にはとがった鷲を正面へ向けた神 Horus を示す𓅃。続いて「hes」瓶印(ḥs)𓎿があり、「賛美」または「恩寵」を意味する。これら二つの印の下にはさらに二つの象形文字がある。左には座るヒヒのような猿の姿、𓃻が正面を向くがThoth(トート)の象徴である。隣には鋤の印 𓌻、読みは「mr」で「愛される」という意味。四つの印を合わせると「Horusを賛美し、Thothに愛された者」という意味になる。螢気は縦向きに穿孔されていて現在は塞がれている。表面には地球状の沈着物があり、縁にはかすかな欠けがある。

蠍虫は古代エジプト美術で非常に人気のある象徴で、太陽神Raを表すと考えられていた。古代エジプト人は、蠍虫が砂漠を跨いで糞の球を転がす様子が、日中の太陽の旅を夜へと変える姿を鏡像として示すと信じていた。虫が糞の中に卵を産むと再生と生まれ変わりの象徴となる。このような蠍虫の護符は、心臓護符・記念護符・蠍虫護符などさまざまな形で作られ、異なる機能に対応していた。蠍虫護符は生者と死者の双方に用いられ、魔法的な若返りの力があると信じられていた。

寸法:長さ1.5cm x 幅1cm

来歴:ロンドンの1980–2000年代のAHコレクションの蠍虫のうちの1点。
