<p>A jewellery bead with an Egyptian beetle design. This piece is ideal for threading onto any chain or cord to create your own necklace. <br /> <br /> In ancient Egypt, scarabs (dung beetles) represented the rising sun and eternal existence. This is because the insect pushes a ball of dung around - and the Egyptians thought the sun was propelled around the earth in the same way, by a giant beetle. <br /> <br /> Ideal as a small gift, the bead is made from turquoise resin.</p>
