Ancient Egypt, Late Period Black Faience Scarab with Ankh (No reserve price)
This black faience scarab dates from Ancient Egypt's Late Period and is adorned with an ankh symbol, representing life and immortality in Egyptian culture. Scarabs, modeled after the sacred dung beetle, were popular amulets, symbolizing rebirth and protection. Faience, a glazed non-clay ceramic material, was widely used for small objects and jewelry due to its vibrant colors and lustrous finish. The inclusion of the ankh enhances the amulet's symbolic value, connecting it to concepts of eternal life cherished by the ancient Egyptians. Such scarabs were commonly used in burial contexts or as personal talismans.
