Egyptian scarabs with the Amun trigram, uraeus, ankh, and neb basket are fascinating artifacts that provide insights into ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and cultural practices. The scarab, a symbol of rebirth and regeneration, was a popular motif in ancient Egypt and often served as a protective amulet or talisman. When combined with other symbols like the Amun trigram, uraeus (cobra symbol), ankh (symbol of life), and neb basket (symbol of fertility), these scarabs took on additional layers of meaning and significance.
The Amun trigram, consisting of three symbols representing the god Amun, was associated with divine protection and power. Amun was one of the most important gods in the Egyptian pantheon, often depicted as a man with a ram’s head or as a ram itself. The inclusion of the Amun trigram on scarabs indicated a connection to this powerful deity, suggesting that the wearer sought Amun’s favor and blessings for protection and prosperity.
The uraeus, a symbol of the goddess Wadjet often depicted as a rearing cobra, symbolized protection and royal authority. It adorned the crowns of pharaohs and was associated with divine kingship and sovereignty. The ankh, resembling a cross with a loop at the top, represented the concept of eternal life and was often held by deities as a symbol of their ability to grant immortality. The neb basket, symbolizing fertility and abundance, was associated with the goddess Renenutet, who was believed to provide nourishment and sustenance. When combined with the scarab, these symbols created powerful talismans believed to offer protection, prosperity, and eternal life to the wearer in both this world and the afterlife.

- Scarab with prenomen for Amenhotep IILocated in EL CAMPELLO, ESITEM: Scarab with prenomen for Amenhotep II MATERIAL: Steatite CULTURE: Egyptian PERIOD: New Kingdom, XVIIIth Dynasty, 1143 – 1417 B.C DIMENSIONS: 15 mm x 11 mm CONDITION: Good condition PROVENANCE: Ex American egyptologist collection, active in the early part of the 20th century, brought to the US with the family in 1954. Comes with Certificate of Authenticity and Export Licence. If you are from outside the European Union, we will have to apply for the export licence again for your country, this takes 4 to 6 weeks. Amenhotep II, the seventh pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, ruled during the New Kingdom period around the 15th century BCE. Renowned for his military prowess, Amenhotep II expanded the Egyptian empire through numerous campaigns, solidifying control over territories in Nubia and the Levant. His expeditions into Syria and Canaan, notably the Battle of Megiddo, showcased his strategic acumen as he secured victories against local rebellions and coalitions, leaving behind inscriptions and reliefs that celebrated his triumphs. Beyond his military endeavors, Amenhotep II also left a mark through his architectural projects, albeit less pronounced compared to other pharaohs. He oversaw the construction of temples and monuments across Egypt, contributing to the cultural landscape of the time. Additionally, Amenhotep II was known for his personal interests in sports and physical activities, with depictions showcasing him engaging in hunting, chariot racing, and archery, reflecting the pursuits of Egyptian nobility and emphasizing the ideal of the warrior-king. While Amenhotep II's reign brought stability and prosperity to Egypt, his legacy is overshadowed by some of his predecessors and successors. Despite his military successes and contributions to Egyptian architecture, he is not as widely celebrated as figures like Thutmose III or Ramses II.Category
