UP for Auction…Rare Antique Stone Scarab (Kheper) Beetle Amulet Figurine Ancient Egyptian.....SMALL
SCARAB KHEPER: The ancient Egyptian scarab beetle, known as Kheper or Khepri, held significant symbolism and religious importance in Egyptian culture. Representing transformation, rebirth, and the eternal cycle of life, the scarab was associated with the sun god Ra and the concept of creation and renewal. Kheper was often depicted as a scarab beetle or as a man with the head of a scarab beetle, symbolizing its connection to the divine and its role in cosmic cycles. The scarab beetle, observed by the ancient Egyptians rolling balls of dung, was seen as emerging from the earth and creating itself anew, mirroring the sun's journey across the sky and its daily rebirth. The scarab was also linked to funerary beliefs, with heart scarab amulets placed on the chests of the deceased in burial rites, symbolizing the journey to the afterlife and the potential for rebirth and transformation. Overall, Kheper embodies the cyclical nature of existence in ancient Egyptian cosmology, representing the eternal renewal of life and the enduring power of transformation.
