Glorious Basalt Egyptian figure of the Winged Scarab (9 x 7 x 3 inches)

Winged Scarab antique for sale is handmade by talented Egyptian small families in Luxor.

This handmade scarab structure is made to be an accurate replica of the scarabs buried with famous ancient Egyptian kings and queens.

The scarab beetle was one of the most significant religious symbols in ancient Egypt, associated with the mighty sun god, Ra. The Egyptians viewed the scarab as a symbol of renewal and rebirth. The beetle was associated closely with the sun god because it rolls large balls of dung to lay their eggs, a behavior that the Egyptians thought resembled the progression of the sun through the sky from east to west.
