This features a beautifully crafted scarab beetle holding up a radiant sun symbol. In ancient Egyptian culture, scarabs were symbols of rebirth, resurrection, transformation, and growth. People wore scarab amulets for good luck and protection, and the bodies of the dead were adorned with scarabs to ensure that they could travel safely to the afterlife and move on to the next world.
The jewel of this 6″x6″ piece is a scarab beetle that is raised atop the medallion. The full piece is created with burnwork for the sun and scarab details.
