<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 218348, member: 29&quot;]I think it might well be a Horus, looking at it. The more I look, the more I agree it&#039;s an ancient scarab, not a repro. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t see any signs it&#039;s been drilled - given how fragile faience is, drilling would have shattered it. The pin is obviously not as old as the scarab may well be - it&#039;s tarnished, might be silver. I&#039;m also now looking very hard at the blue/green beads, especially the smaller ones. Not sure the oval yellow ones are as old as the scarab, but I think the blue/green ones may be. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy ancient scarabs here and also ancient beads - I gave a friend a necklace made from four thousand year old Egyptian beads as a birthday gift. </p><p><br /></p><p>This thing may have to have a little trip to the British Museum sometime. It&#039;s bein kept, anyhow, I like it a lot. Especially for about three dollars. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
