Enamelled Scarab Necklace.
This stunning scarab necklace measures approximately 7cm in width and represents the Egyptian god Khepri.
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.
This stunning low-hanging pendant (chain IS included) looks great with our Cleopatra accessories to give your fancy dress costume an authentic Egyptian look.
Made in Egypt.
