A rare and sacred piece of history: an authentic scarab amulet from ancient Egypt, expertly mounted as a gold brooch. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the scarab represents the sun god Khepri, the personification of creation and rebirth.

The scarab is held in a custom-made gold setting, allowing this millennia-old artifact to be worn as a timeless jewel.

Symbolism
The reverse of this exceptional amulet reveals sacred iconography carved by hand. It depicts a reclining lion, a symbol of solar power and royal protection, placed above a crocodile representing the god Sobek, lord of the Nile and of fertility. This combination of protective symbols, completed by a rearing cobra (uraeus), was intended to grant its wearer absolute authority and protection against the forces of chaos, on land as on water. A piece of rare spiritual intensity, illustrating the powerful apotropaic magic of ancient Egypt.
