Lot 80: An Egyptian Rock Crystal Scarab, Possibly New Kingdom – Late Period

A carved Egyptian rock crystal scarab. This small, stylized beetle is fashioned from a translucent, colorless crystalline material, likely rock crystal, exhibiting a somewhat frosted or abraded surface consistent with age and handling. The dorsal side features incised lines delineating the beetle’s carapace and wings. The flat base displays shallow carved details, possibly symbols or decorative motifs, though these are indistinct for specific identification. A small, dark circular indentation, likely a suspension hole, is visible on one side of the base.
