This 1.5" tall Egyptian Scarab is made from resin that is painted with an antique bronze finish. On the underside of the scarab are Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The most important insect in Ancient Egypt was the Scarab (Dung Beetle). Models of the beetle were worn as an amulet to protect the wearer from evil.

In real life this beetle would roll a ball of dung along in the sand. The Egyptians believed a giant beetle would roll the sun around the Earth.
