Scarabs amulets formed to look like the dung beetle, an animal associated, by the ancient Egyptians, with life and rebirth. It lays eggs in dung which it rolls in a ball. The undersides of scarabs were inscribed with hieroglyphs, names, symbols, mottoes, and more. Khephri was the divine dung beetle who rolled the sun through the sky. Measures 3" in length.
