Because of the dung beetle’s significance in ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle came to represent the eternal cycle of life. Like the dung beetle’s revolving ball, the scarab became a symbol of birth, life, death, and resurrection. Since the sun was believed to die each night and reborn each morning as a beetle, the scarab took on significant regenerative powers. The deceased needed to harness these powers to be reborn in the afterlife – in the same way, the sun was reborn each morning. This divine sculpture is 100% handmade in Egypt with pure Egyptian blue stone for deep blessing and good omen.
