2 Highly detailed little scarab beetles. Compare size to penny shown. Photos show both sides. Not a flat charm - hollow back for depth. This is the particular species of beetle represented in the numerous ancient Egyptian amulets and works of art. Millions of amulets and stamp seals of stone were fashioned in Egypt depicting the scarab beetle. Scarab amulets were often placed over the heart of the mummified deceased. These "heart scarabs" were meant to be weighed against the feather of truth during the final judgment. The amulets were often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead which entreated the heart to "do not stand as a witness against me." Here's a chance to own one of your very own. Accent with glittered nail polish, rhinestones or use as is. It seemed to the ancient Egyptians that the young scarab beetles emerged spontaneously from the burrow were they were born. Therefore they were worshiped as "Khepera", which means "he was came forth". Many possibilities. Made from Tibetan Silver. In case you don't know what that is, Tibetan silver is used primarily in jewelery components, and is similar to pewter - an alloy of copper, and sometimes tin or nickel, with a small percentage of pure silver. Its overall appearance is of aged silver, but it can be polished to provide highlights on complex castings. The nickel content is nowadays reduced or absent, due to common allergies to this metal.
