HISTORY:
This heart scarab, carved from dark green stone, reflects the enduring significance of funerary amulets in ancient Egyptian burial practices. Shaped like the sacred scarab beetle (Scarabaeus sacer), it symbolises regeneration, transformation, and the eternal cycle of life.
In ancient Egyptian belief, the heart was considered the seat of emotion, thought, and morality, and it played a central role in the judgment of the dead. Heart scarabs were traditionally placed over the heart or within the wrappings of the mummy to prevent the heart from speaking against the deceased during the weighing of the heart ceremony before Osiris, god of the afterlife. The green stone further reinforces the themes of renewal and rebirth, echoing the verdant qualities of the Nile and the promise of eternal life.
Though this example lacks an inscription, its material, form, and placement suggest it retained its protective and symbolic function. Such objects offer insight into the personal beliefs and funerary customs of the ancient Egyptians, where even unadorned items were imbued with potent spiritual meaning.
* This piece is provided with a Certificate of Authenticity.

HISTORY
This unique design features two youthful male heads positioned side by side, one upright and the other inverted. This captivating motif has been variously interpreted as representing the Dioscuri, the rising and setting sun, or the two branches of the river Danube.
The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, epitomised courage and bravery and were especially revered by soldiers and cavalry. Renowned as protectors of sailors, they were believed to have the power to calm seas and still winds. In Rome, their legendary intervention at the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 B.C. secured a pivotal victory for the Romans against the Latins. Their legacy was celebrated with annual games featuring horse racing on January 27th, highlighting their strong association with horsemanship.
The constellation Gemini is intrinsically linked to the Dioscuri. Sharing the same mother, Leda, Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine offspring of Zeus. Together, they joined Jason on the Argo and famously saved the ship from a deadly storm. When Castor perished in battle, Pollux implored Zeus to reunite them. Zeus granted this wish, immortalising them in the stars and allowing them to alternate between Earth and the heavens. Sailors who spotted the twin stars...
