Ancient Human-Faced Scarab – Rare Archaeological Revival Gold Ring
Archaeological Revival Ring with Ancient Human-Faced Scarab in Gold This archaeological revival gold ring features an ancient scarab uniquely carved with a human-like face, a design of extraordinary rarity. Unlike typical scarabs, which often depict beetle forms or hieroglyphs, this example combines the protective scarab with a distinctly human visage — a powerful fusion of rebirth and individuality. The underside reveals a beautifully inscribed base, further underscoring the scarab’s authentic ancient origin and symbolic power. Such inscriptions were traditionally believed to amplify the amulet’s protective qualities, serving as a spiritual safeguard for its wearer. Mounted in a finely crafted yellow gold revival setting, this jewel is both a wearable artifact and a testament to the enduring fascination with Egyptian antiquities. Human-faced scarabs are virtually unknown in Egyptian corpus, making this ring an exceptionally rare and museum-worthy treasure. Scholars such as Erik Hornun
