Inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology. Khepri is the Egyptian god of rebirth. The sunrise was commonly depicted as a scarab beetle. The dung beetle would roll it's ball across the ground symbolizing the movements of the sun. It's young would emerge from the ball fully formed. Khepri represents creation and rebirth. "Come into being." The scarab pendant is raw brass and hangs on a 24" 14k gold fill chain. Thank you for looking and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
