Magical Scarab Beetle soft sculpture vintage fabrics

Perhaps the ancient Egyptians were on to something.

Your fascination with ancient Egyptian life and myths hasn't faded a bit since you were ten. You can still feel the 100 pounds of library books on ancient Egypt tugging on the shoulder straps of your backpack as you trekked home from the library one warm spring afternoon. The book about Tutankhamon your parents gave you for your birthday that you treasure even today. Your first visit to the Egyptian collection at the Met. Yep, you're smitten.

The sacred scarab, rolling its dung ball behind it, held a kind of magic for the Egyptians.
It was the mirror image of the sun god Ra, rolling the disc of the sun across the sky each day.
Symbolizing creation and rebirth.
