Scarab Decorated with Papyrus and Winged Beetles ca. 1295-1070 B.C. New Kingdom The underside of this New Kingdom scarab shows a pair of beetles with outstretched wings. Flowering papyrus plants are placed between them. While the sacred scarab frequently occurs on Egyptian seal-amulets as a sign (for example in several royal names) or as a symbol, it does not represent the scarab god Khepri. The Egyptian dung beetle symbolizes creation and rebirth, which is emphasized here by the presence of plants as a reference to growth and fecundity. The prominent wings moreover accentuate the protective power of the scarab beetle, because enfolding wings are a common protective motif in Egyptian art..
