    Egyptian Scarab Bead - Hand carved Soapstone (Steatite)
    Collected in the '90s from the village of Gourna, near Luxor, Egypt. Very high quality and no longer being made.
    Traditional Scarabs were produced in vast numbers for many centuries and many thousands have survived. They were generally intended to be worn or carried by the living. They were typically carved or moulded in the form of a scarab beetle. The base was usually inscribed with designs or hieroglyphs to form an impression seal. Scarabs were usually drilled from end to end to allow them to be strung on a thread or incorporated into a swivel ring.
