Because I don’t know if there is a song about Wednesdays, I don’t have the time to Google to find one, and because I’ve watched Shrek 3 recently and Donkey sang it XD
Okay, I sound like a certifiable nutter so let’s move along shall we? I’m hopping on to Etsy today to bring to you a gorgeous item relating to ancient Egypt. The Egyptians have a LOT of Gods, most of them taking on the appearances of the animals that surrounded the Egyptians. Anubis for example was the jackal-headed god, they believed that he protected the tombs of the dead, possibly because jackals were rather ferocious animals and if you’re going to be buried for all eternity it’s nice to think that you’re going to have an awesome guard dog protecting your burial goods.
And then there were scarabs, the Egyptians believed that a scarab beetle pushed the sun across the sky. Because when you have no idea about gravitational pull and all that jazz you just have to think up something to make the sun move. And now you can get a scarab beetle necklace!
A brass scarab on a chain! It looks quite large but it’s only 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches so not that big at all really. I love the level of detail on it. This was created by JuliaDent, she has lots of other bug and animal necklaces in her shop as well as beaded earrings and other bits and bobs, but for obvious reasons it’s the scarab that I like best!
