3 Egyptian Steatite Scarabs +1 Faience Wadjet Pendant

Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom to Late Dynastic Period, 18th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 1550 to 332 BCE. A wonderful selection of four petite Egyptian artifacts: 2 scarab pendants, 1 scarab amulet, and a wadjet pendant. First are two New Kingdom steatite scarabs with insectile characteristics along their topsides, each with a suspension hole drilled lengthwise through the body. One scarab bears a series of 4 drilled circles, and the other features two pairs of uraeus cobras facing in opposing directions. Next is a black stone scarab amulet that bears an indiscernible image incised along its bottom. Last is a Late Dynastic faience wadjet pendant (also wedjat, Eye of Horus) bearing a signature ocular form that is covered in lustrous blue-green glaze. Size of largest (scarab w/ uraei): 0.8" L x 0.55" W (2 cm x 1.4 cm)
