Color Tone may vary In ancient Egyptian religion, the sun god Ra is seen to roll across the sky each day, transforming bodies and souls. Beetles of the Scarabaeidae family (dung beetle) roll dung into a ball as food and as a brood chamber in which to lay eggs that are later transformed into larvae. For these reasons the scarab was seen as a symbol of this heavenly cycle and of the idea of rebirth or regeneration. This beautiful scarab is finished and painted in black and gold, creating a royal contrast. The base of the scarab features egyptian hieroglyphs which adds historical meaning to the collectible. This is an Ebros Gift exclusive collection.
