COLLECTION OF EGYPTIAN SCARABS AND AMULETS Late Period, Ca. 664 - 332 BC A collection of six scarabs and amulets, the four scarabs of ovoid form with naturalistic features. Beneath the domed insects are hieroglyphic inscriptions. A suspension hole is drilled lengthwise through the body, for mounting on a necklace or a swivel ring. The first amulet is probably a cat with raised ears; the second is a frog with a raised head. For similar see: Andrews C., Amulets of Ancient Egypt, British Museum Press, 1994.
