ScarbIn ancient
Egyptian religion
, important symbol in the form of the
dung beetle
(
Scarabaeus sacer
), which lays its eggs in dung balls fashioned through rolling. This beetle was associated with the
divine manifestation
of the early morning sun,
Khepri
, whose name was written with the scarab
hieroglyph
and who was believed to roll the disk of the morning sun over the eastern horizon at daybreak. Since the scarab hieroglyph,
Kheper
, refers variously to the ideas of existence,
manifestation
, development, growth, and effectiveness, the beetle itself was a favourite form used for amulets in all periods of Egyptian history.
This pendant is like the photo except it is silver.
