The
item listed for auction is a "Thoth Scarab" from the New Kingdom
Period(1539-1075B.C.). Carved from stone this type of scarab was either
a common household item or a tomb relic. This authentic reliquary piece
has the "baboon faced" god Thoth on the top front, with faintly
visible figures on the upper surface and reverse. Due to extensive ancient
age wear, these type of scarabs can be rolled out with modeling clay
to reveal the "age worn", hidden reliefs. Measures approximately:
2.0 long, 1.5 wide and .7 in depth. In the last few
centuries Egyptian archaeological discoveries were also available "to
the highest bidder". They were removed from Egypt and were held
in private collections worldwide. The items that we list on our site
have been acquired from those said collections. Most of these ancient
pieces were originally recovered from Egyptian tombs or other types
of digs. As with most antiquities they will have surface age wear, areas
of encrustation, some may have age cracks and in some there were repairs.
This and all of the items we post have been confirmed to be authentic
by reputable antiquarians. We strive to do our best in providing you
with the most accurate dating and time guidelines on all of our pieces.
We are confident and guarantee that the piece you are bidding is authentic
and coincides with the listing description. Returns will be accepted
if the item your receive is not as shown in the photos or is not as
described on the auction page. If the item being returned does not meet
the above said criteria, it must be accompanied by a written appraisal
from a qualified antiquities expert. This is to include the antiquarian's
name and credentials. We will no longer accept returns based on groundless
supposition or on buyer's remorse.
