About the Item
This DUBINI ring features an ancient Egyptian scarab circa 1085-713 B.C. set in 18K yellow gold.
A black stone scarab with an oval body and a gently rounded upper side detailing the clypeus, prothorax, and wings. This scarab has wonderfully moulded morphological features in a conventionalised representation of the scaraboid beetle. The underside is flat and unworked. The scarab was thought to represent the sun god Ra. As the sun rolls across the sky between day to night, the Egyptians saw this as the scarab beetle rolling its ball of dung across the desert. The beetle would lay its egg within the dung which became a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. The scarab was the most important amulet in Ancient Egypt.
Size: L:17.7mm / W:12.8mm
HISTORY
Along with the pyramids, sphinxes, and mummies, the scarabs are one of the most familiar objects representing Egypt. Scarabs have been collected for centuries and were particularly popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
“Scarabaeus sacer is the Latin name for the dung beetle. Today most people do not have great appreciation for this insect, but this variety and several other members of the family Scarabaeidae, were sacred to the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians connected the beetles’ habits of rolling balls of dung around their eggs with the concept of eternal life in the after-world. The meaning of Kheper or Scarab was “”becoming, being, metamorphosing, generation, new life, virility, and resurrection.”” Representations of the beetle were an essential symbol in Egyptian art and a whole class of seals and amulets were made in its image.
These little amulets of beetle form often bear hieroglyphic designs on their base, including good luck wishes, the names gods, and the names of individuals both noble and common. The most obviously interesting scarabs are those with names of kings, of the royal family, and of officials. Pharaohs were worshiped as gods, and the names of the current pharaoh or a popular deceased pharaohs, such as Thothemes III, were used to bring good luck to the bearer.
Scarabs were manufactured in a wide variety of materials including steatite, faience, stone, glass, and bone, from the Old Kingdom through the Roman period. The most common material used was steatite.“
