The glowing gold tone metal Symbolic Scarab in the likeness of an Egyptian cartouche is absolutely gorgeous. The cartouche is an ancient Egyptian symbol representing a rope forming an oval around a name. Cartouches contain hieroglyphics which spell out the names of the deceased, so that their memory may live on even after their physical deaths. This cartouche contains the throne name of Tutankhamun, Neb-kheperu-Re, meaning "the Lordly Manifestations of the Sun God." Disc - the sun god (Re) Scarab - 'manifestations of' (kheperu) (pluralized by the three lines) Bowl - 'lordly' (neb). The brush texture of the buckle with the smooth spots are visually striking.

Some of the auction items that I purchased over the years, I really needed, and many other winning auction items (like 100 pairs of chopsticks - REALLY) after some embarrassment and family criticism, have made for a good story. It is my sincere goal to never embarrass any buyer, and to attempt to make every buyer who purchases one of my listed auction items more than satisfied. All of the auction items (whether pre-owned or brand new) come from a clean, pet-free, smoke-free, and mold-free home. I will always try and address any criticism or complaint in a prompt and thorough manner. I have procrastinated listing items on Ebay long enough and now it is time to say goodbye to some of my family’s belongings.Happy Bidding!!!
