<p>[QUOTE="NewEngland, post: 601089, member: 6071"]Does this scarab look like stone or pottery? It's glued to a small 2" piece of marble so I can't see the bottom. It's fairly large - about 1" long x 1/2" high x 1/2" wide. There was probably felt lining the bottom of the marble but it's gone, leaving some paper residue. I'm thinking it is was a souvenir desk item from the 20s or 30's when Egyptian artifacts were all the rage. Any ideas appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]177979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
