Lovely pendant hand made in Egypt has a carved soapstone scarab in the center of a temple topped with Lotus flowers and flanked on either side by Osiris, Lord of the Underworld. The scarab was a symbol of the sun and resurrection. A truly unique piece that is about 1 1/2 inches wide, 1 3/4 inches tall. Has a hidden bail and pin back to wear as a pin or pendant.
Scarab - According to ancient Egyptian mythos, the sun (Ra) rolls across the sky each day and transforms bodies and souls. Modeled upon the Scarabaeidae family dung beetle, which rolls dung into a ball in front of itself to lay its eggs, the scarab was seen as an earthly symbol of this heavenly cycle.
