Key Features: Symbolism and Cultural Significance: The scarab beetle, or kheper, was one of the most powerful symbols in Egyptian culture, representing transformation, renewal, and resurrection. Scarabs were associated with the sun god Ra and were often used as protective amulets. This heart-shaped scarab beetle had a special function in the mummification process, symbolizing the heart and its role in the journey to the afterlife. Ancient Ritual Use: Heart-shaped scarabs like this one were engraved with passages from the Book of the Dead, particularly Chapter XXX-B, which refers to the heart. These amulets were placed inside the body of the deceased to replace the heart itself, which was removed during mummification. This particular scarab bears part of a canonical introduction in which the deceased speaks to his heart, urging it not to contradict or bear false witness during the final judgment. 18-karat gold setting: The scarab is beautifully encased in an 18-karat gold setting, which enhances its elegance and makes it suitable to be worn as a pendant.
