Scarab ring with deities

Glencairn Museum

Glencairn Museum
Bryn Athyn, United States

“This scarab amulet has been incorporated into a ring. The flat surface of the scarab is carved with a scene of three deities in a boat. Just as the Egyptians traveled on the Nile during their daily life, they envisioned their gods sailing across the sky in boats. The gods on this boat are flanked by images of the moon.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
