scarabHere is an example of the beautiful antiquities from Egypt available from Phoenix Ancient Art. The scarab is an example of the most popular type of amulet worn in ancient Egypt. This scarab, dating from the 1600 BC to the 1200 BC has a carved exterior that is made to look like a scarab beetle. The scarab beetle was a symbol of rebirth in ancient Egypt and was also representative of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.

This type of scarab theme in amulets was first seen in the First Intermediary period and it persisted through the Late period. The Egyptians believed that a giant scarab beetle pushed the sun across the sky each day and this popularity led to its depiction in jewelry and other items. This is one of the many examples of ancient Egyptian antiques available from Ali Aboutaam and Hicham Aboutaam.
