About the Item

This extraordinary pendant features a heart scarab from ancient Egypt, dating back to the XVIII-XIX dynasties (16th-12th centuries BCE), and set in an elegant 18K gold mount. A true treasure of historical and symbolic significance, this amulet embodies the sacred beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, making it an invaluable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Key Features: Symbolism and Cultural Significance: The scarab beetle, or kheper, was one of the most powerful symbols in Egyptian culture, representing transformation, renewal, and resurrection. Scarabs were associated with the solar god Ra and were often used as protective amulets. This heart scarab served a special purpose in the mummification process, symbolizing the heart and its role in the journey to the afterlife. Ancient Ritual Use: Heart scarabs like this one were engraved with passages from the Book of the Dead, specifically from Chapter XXX-B, which references the heart. These amulets were placed inside the body of the deceased to replace the actual heart, which was removed during mummification. This particular scarab carries part of a canonical introduction in which the deceased speaks to his heart, urging it not to contradict or bear false testimony during the final judgment. 18K Gold Setting: The scarab is beautifully encased in an 18K gold mount, enhancing its elegance and making it suitable for wearing as a pendant. The gold adds both luxury and durability to this remarkable artifact, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. Excellent Condition: Despite its ancient origin, this heart scarab is remarkably well-preserved, allowing us to appreciate its historical details and the significance it held in Egyptian spiritual beliefs. Dimensions: Size: 4 cm x 3 cm x 1.5 cm (approximately 1.6" x 1.2" x 0.6") Why Choose This Heart Scarab Pendant? This heart scarab pendant is more than just a piece of jewelry; it’s a powerful artifact that embodies the beliefs and rituals of ancient Egypt.
