Gorgeous Czech Egyptian revival scarab with hole in back for a hatpin. I've used them to set in sterling for jewelry. Can also be set with a seed bead bezel and leather backing.. Scarab measures 38mm x 30mm. Very detailed with some of the designs translucent so they do glow.

When King Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in the 1920s, it was not only an important archeological find, it influenced everything from architecture to fashion. Woman all over the world began wearing jewelry, headdresses, and belts with Egyptian motifs. This period became known as the Egyptian revival era..
