Lapis Carved Egyptian Scarab Beetle
$139
This scarab is made from the Sacred Lapis Lazuli Of the Egyptian Gods.
The Egyptian scarab was closely connected with the sun god Khepri, who brought the sunrise over the horizon each day. Thus, it became a symbol of rebirth, regeneration, and protection in the afterlife.
Scarabs are often found inscribed with the names of pharaohs and more rarely with the names of their queens and other members of the royal family. Generally, the better established and longer reigning a king was, the more scarabs are found bearing one or more of his names.
Scarabs were also used in protection amulets, and in regeneration amulets.
Lapis Lazuli was long used for sacred amulets across Ancient Egypt, quite often taking the form of a scarab beetle, itself a symbol of protection, renewal and resurrection.X
