A very finely carved ancient Egyptian scarab with deep clear glyphs, created from glazed steatite. Dating to the Second Intermediate to New Kingdom, Dynasties XII to XVIII, circa 1991 to 1307 B.C., this lovely beetle is carved with stylized papyrus stem -- and worn by the living as a good luck charm. 12mm long by 8mm wide and in choice, just about perfect condition. Ex Philip Mitry collection. Mr. Mitry was a noted dealer of Egyptian artifacts licensed by the Egyptian government to sell from his shop in Cairo, during the 1940's and 1950's. An incredible scarab that would look wonderful set into jewelry or displayed in your collection!
