Cute solid 18ct Yellow Gold small Scarab pendant with, on the reverse, 18ct White Gold representation of Ra (Sun), both sacred symbols of ancient Egypt.
Scarab 9mm round, pendant length 17mm total.

That the sun would be held sacred by ancient peoples is not particularly remarkable, but the scarab beetle as a sacred symbol is interesting: the scarab beetle, on the move doing its thing from dawn to dusk, represented qualities the Pharaohs wanted their subjects to associate with their rulers: diligence and focus.
