The listing, Scarab has ended.
Purchased about 30 years ago from a new age shop- this was made in Egypt, probably for the tourist trade. Not sure of the material- probably steatite as commonly used.
The Scarab represented - Self-Generation, Resurrection and Renewal.
The scarab was based on the image of the dung beetle, or Scarabeus Sacer, and it was used by the ancient Egyptians for many purposes such as recording historical events or inscribing prayers to be placed on mummies for protection against evil.
