Winged Scarab Pendant in Polished Steel for a Healthy and Long Life.
This meticulously crafted pendant, measuring approximately 5.3cm by 5.0cm (53mm x 50mm), features the symbolic Winged Scarab in highly polished steel, echoing the rich heritage of ancient Egyptian culture.
The scarab beetle held profound significance in Egyptian symbolism, encompassing various aspects of life, death, and rebirth:
1. **Symbol of Transformation:** The scarab represented transformation and regeneration, mirroring the natural behavior of the beetle observed by the ancient Egyptians as it rolled dung into a ball, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.
2. **Representation of the Sun:** The scarab also served as a symbol of the sun's journey across the sky. Analogous to the sun's movement, the rolling of the dung ball and the emergence of the young scarab were metaphors for the sun's nightly burial and morning resurrection.
3. **Protective Amulet:** Scarab beetles were widely used as protective amulets, believed to bestow good fortune, ward off evil forces, and provide protection. They adorned jewelry and were incorporated into artifacts like seals and rings.
4. **Symbol of Resurrection:** Associated with the cycle of life, scarabs symbolized resurrection and life after death. Scarab amulets were often placed among mummy wrappings to ensure a safe journey to the afterlife.
5. **Good Luck Charm:** Beyond their protective qualities, scarabs were considered symbols of good luck, believed to bring prosperity, happiness, and success to those who wore them.
The symbolism of the scarab beetle in ancient Egyptian culture is rooted in its natural behavior and its perceived connection to cosmic cycles. The Winged Scarab pendant pays homage to this cultural heritage with its finely detailed design.
It's important to note that regular wear can accumulate oils, and we recommend removing the pendant for a thorough cleaning. Additionally, to preserve its luster, kindly remove the item before showering or bathing, as exposure to water can expedite tarnishing.
This piece is costume jewelry and serves as a unique expression of cultural and historical symbolism.
