content: From card: "Eight scarabs mounted as a bracelet. The scarabs are reputed to have been brought from Egypt by the father of the donor and mounted at Tiffany's, New York. Professor Goedicke, Oriental Seminary, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, states that all the scarabs in this bracelet may be fakes except for the rectangular, cracked one engraved with a lion."
label: Notes
content: Though originally mounted as a bracelet when this object was accessioned in 1962, the beads/scarabs were at some point removed from the bracelet and only the scarabs were retained. As of 2017, there are 8 beetle-form scarab beads and one rectangular engraved bead with this number.
