EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scarab, delicately crafted from blue glass paste, dating back to the Late Period of ancient Egypt around 600 BC. The scarab was discovered as part of a neck bead belonging to a mummy and is now housed in the Pilkington Glass Museum in St. Helens, Merseyside, UK. The scarab holds great significance in Egyptian culture, serving as both an amulet and talisman believed to possess protective powers. This particular artifact offers us a glimpse into the superstitious beliefs held by the people of that time. The beetle-shaped charm represents rebirth and regeneration due to its association with Khepri, the god who rolled the sun across the sky each day. It was also believed to ward off evil spirits and protect against harm. Through this image, we are transported back thousands of years ago when these intricate amulets were cherished possessions among ancient Egyptians. The craftsmanship involved in creating such detailed pieces is truly remarkable. As we admire this relic from afar, let us marvel at how our ancestors sought solace and protection through their superstitions and beliefs. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared human history and allows us to appreciate the beauty found within ancient artifacts like this mesmerizing scarab pendant.
