History

Crafted from Egyptian faience, a sintered quartz ceramic material, this scarab boasts a bright, lustrous green colour. This magical hue, reminiscent of the sun’s shimmer, was believed to imbue the scarab with the powers of rebirth. Faience, first appearing at the end of the fifth millennium B.C., achieved its technological refinement and major triumphs in Egypt, where it became a celebrated medium for artistic expression. Unique faience scarab beetle, representative of the ancient Egyptian divine manifestation of the morning sun. Dated to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, this archaic and precious piece holds an enduring legacy.

Scarab beetles were closely associated with the Egyptian god Khepri, who was believed to roll the sun across the sky each day at daybreak. This daily journey symbolised the sun’s east-to-west path, reflecting the eternal cycle of life. The scarab embodied the ideas of manifestation, regeneration, and growth, making it a powerful emblem in ancient Egyptian culture.
