This
3.8cm tall Egyptian scarab is the image of a dung beetle and sacred to the sun god.
Dung beetles lay eggs in a pellet which they roll along and the Egyptians
regarded this action as an image of the sun and its course through the
heavens, rolled by a gigantic beetle. The mini bronze is made of a base white metal and
bronze plated.
The
mini bronze is supplied in a clear acetate box with an insert showing an
image of an Egyptian Scarab and historical information.
