Egyptian Silver Bracelet / Bangle of Scarab and Ankh.
Made in Egypt.
By far the most important amulet in ancient Egypt was the scarab, symbolically as sacred to the Egyptians as the cross is to Christians.
Dung beetles lay eggs in a pellet which they roll along and the Egyptians regarded this action as an image of the sun and its course through the heavens, rolled by a gigantic beetle. Scarabs are associated with the Egyptian god, Khepri. It was Khepri that pushed the sun across the sky.
The Egyptian Ankh represents living & everlasting life, not only in the material world but in the spiritual afterlife and is the oldest and most sacred Egyptian amulet
