I am prefacing this description with the fact that this is not my speciality but I will explain what I do know about this piece. This is an antique Egyptian scarab bought from a local estate of a well traveled person. Exact age unknown. It is turquoise in color. It could be ceramic or steatite. There is a hole on each end, possibly for a cord of some kind to go through. There is rubbing wear to one end more so than the other. The turquoise color is a glaze and not consistent throughout. It is rough in some areas and there is a dark spot on the top of the beetle that is underneath the glaze. The beetle is very well articulated and there are numerous hierogyphics on the other side. It measures 3 3/8" by 2 3/8" and is 1 1/4" in height.
