Scarab Medallion Necklace | Egyptian Rebirth Talisman

The scarab beetle rolls a ball of dung across the ground and buries it as a food source. The ancient Egyptians observed this and identified it with Khepri, the god of the rising sun: the beetle rolling its ball across the sky each day, buried at night in the underworld, emerging again at dawn. The scarab amulet became the most common protective object in Egyptian material culture, placed over the heart of the mummified dead, inscribed with prayers, worn by the living as a claim on the same cycle of guaranteed return.

925 sterling silver base. Available in White Gold Plated, Yellow Gold Plated, and Rose Gold Plated finishes. Suspended on a matching chain.
