Lapis Lazuli Scarab from Afghanistan
Deep royal-blue lapis lazuli carved as a scarab. The carving shows crisp raised details, and the saturated color gives it a strong, timeless look.
The scarab was one of the most important symbols in ancient Egypt, associated with renewal, protection, and the daily rebirth of the sun. Scarab carvings were worn as amulets and used in jewelry and seals, so a piece like this connects lapis lazuli to one of the most recognizable forms in ancient art and personal adornment.
