Egyptian scarab

Description :

Rare item, low stock.

This magnificent scarab sculpture, handcrafted in Luxor by artist Salah Sayed, embodies the richness of traditional Egyptian craftsmanship. Crafted from soapstone, a precious stone mined in Egypt's Eastern Desert, each piece is meticulously carved using time-honored methods.

Symbolism : In ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle is associated with the god Khepri, protector of the Sun and symbol of rebirth. It represents hope, luck, and the cycle of life, offering a powerful message of resilience in the face of adversity. At the base of the sculpture, a Hand-engraved Ankh key adds an extra touch of authenticity and symbolism.

To enhance this work, the sculpture is then covered with a glaze composed of quartz and copper, a technique inspired by ancient Egyptian faience. After careful firing, it acquires its distinctive bluish hue, creating a striking contrast between the softness of the soapstone and the brilliance of the glaze.

A unique work of art, ideal for any collection of Egyptological objects, perfect to embellish your shelves, your tables, or even as a paperweight.
