Description
A striking example of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship, this green stone scarab amulet embodies both artistry and religious significance. Carved with meticulous attention to detail, the scarab represents rebirth and regeneration, a common motif in New Kingdom iconography. This amulet, likely worn as a protective piece or placed with mummified remains, exhibits the skilled work of artisans from the period around 1550 to 1077 B.C. Its well-preserved condition allows for a clear view of the hieroglyphs and stylized features that were believed to offer protection and guidance in the afterlife.
