VTG LOT 12 Art Deco Egyptian Revival SCARAB Carved Bead Turquoise Beetle Amulet:
$125.00

This is a VINTAGE/Antique LOT of one dozen (12) Egyptian Carved Bead SCARABS.I do believe they are fairly old, probably from the 1930s through 1950s, mid-century Egyptian Revival, and probably from Egypt imported to the U.S. I am not an expert, but I think these would have to be at least that old judging from other listings I have seen. I am not positive what they are made of. Possibly could be some kind of natural stone of turquoise color, or they may be “faience,” a stone carved bead, or steatite?Each bead was hand-carved and is unique in size and variance, so I believe they are hand made and not from a mold. Each is around 1 to 1 1/8 inches long, give or take, and 5/8 to 3/4 inch wide. They vary in size. Each one appears to be unique, but within that size range.Each one has an unusual looking hieroglyphic symbol carved on the back. The sides are carved edges, some of them have slit openings, and there is a 1/8 to 3/16 good-sized hole on either end of all twelve for beading. A quick look on or other internet sites will give you an idea of the beautiful bracelets and necklaces that can be made with these. Here’s a chance to get a dozen of them at a a very fair price, considering the $20 to $30 you might pay for each one. You can use these beads to make your own scarab jewelry. The scarab or beetle was an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternity, awakening and enlightenment, immortality, rebirth, and longevity.Take advantage of my other sales for MORE vintage, antique and reasonably priced items!
