Note on Dating: The date range provided for this item—Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom Scarab Faience Ring, 1550–1070 B.C.—is an estimate only, based on stylistic comparisons with similar artifacts that have been found in archaeological contexts. While the ring exhibits characteristics consistent with faience craftsmanship and scarab designs from the New Kingdom period, it has not been scientifically dated (e.g., through stratigraphic excavation or laboratory analysis). As such, the assigned date reflects a general typological classification rather than a definitive chronological determination. From an important private English collection.
