Descripción : Egypt, New Kingdom/Third Intermediate Period, ca. 1550 to 712 BCE. A trio of stone scarabs, two large and black and one smaller and made of white steatite. The largest has more details than the others, including incised lines that give the wings a deep texture. Amulets of the scarab were hugely popular for over a thousand years in ancient Egypt, a symbol with staying power similar to that of the Christian cross, they seem to have been worn and carried by the living, although by the time of the third intermediate period, they had also become part of the increasingly elaborate battery of items to be placed into graves for protection of the dead. Also included is a petite alabaster alabastron with an egg-shaped body with a corseted rim.
