The Egyptians shared their environment with many different beasts, birds,
fish and reptiles. These animals would appear on many objects including
sculptures, jewellery and hieroglyphics. The Scarab
beetle represents Khepri the sun god. The insect itself pushes a ball of
dung around and the Egyptians thought the sun was propelled around the earth
the same way, by a giant beetle. The pendant is 25mm tall and is manufactured in traditional
lead-free pewter and gold plated. Supplied on a gold plated chain.
The
card has a colour image depicting a painted cartouche from the 18th Dynasty on the front and historical information on the back.
