EGYPTIAN
Ancient Style Blue/Green Handcarved Soapstone Scarab Amulets with
Silver Filigree Bezels
Pendant & Bracelet
A sacred beetle, the scarab was the
image of self-creation for ancient Egyptians. In hieroglyphics, the
beetle actually meant "to be transformed" and was a symbol of New
Life.
This is a sturdy and handsome set, beautifully handcrafted in Egypt.
The scarabs are prepared as they were in ancient
times: first they're handcarved, then fired, then painted, then fired
and glazed, then fired. Then, they are affixed to the finely filigreed
Egyptian Sterling Silver bezel, with the generous silver collar on
the reverse. The carvings on the reverse of the scarabs are visible
inside the bezel collar.
The pendant measures 1 3/4"
in length, and is ready to hang on your chain or cord. The
bracelet scarabs are each 1" high
and 3/4"wide.
Shipping and Handing is $7.00 for this item.
