Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Pair of Hoop Earrings with Ibex Head Finials. UnknownScarab Decorated with Symbol of Unification ca. 1981-1295 B.C. Middle Kingdom A popular motif on Middle Kingdom scarabs is the sema-tawy, the symbol of the unification of Egypt. The motif consists of a windpipe entwined with lotus and papyrus plants, floral symbols that respectively represent Upper and Lower Egypt. While many early Middle Kingdom scarabs (late Dynasty 11-early Dynasty 12, ca. 2030-1850 B.C.) show the sema-tawy alone, the compositions of the late Middle Kingdom (late Dynasty 12-mid Dynasty 13) often display two sema-tawy motifs in symmetric opposition or combine it with other motifs such as spirals or hieroglyphs. The motif does not disappear after the Middle Kingdom but continues to appear on Egyptian and Canaanite scarabs during the Second Intermediate Period (Dynasty 14-17, ca. 1640-1550 B.C.) when, ironically enough, the kingdom was no longer unified. The accompanying motifs or the details in the shape of the scarab allow dating these scarabs more precisely.. ScarabPair of Earrings 8th-12th century Indonesia (Central Java).

It is difficult to make out whether the ring is inscribed with "Allah" or whether it is a closely resembling pseudo-epigraphic design.

Middle Kingdom Administrative changes during Dynasty 12 lead to an increase in bureaucracy and, subsequently, in the production and use of seals. This is reflected in the beginning of the mass production of scarabs, the most popular shape for amulets, in late Dynasty 12 through Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). Thousands of these late Middle Kingdom scarabs bear the names and titles of officials, who would wear them as amulets, but who could also use them to seal documents, containers or doors. However, the scarabs primary function remained that of a protective amulet. Several inscriptions add a funerary epithet to the owners name, indicating that the amulet was manufactured after the owner had passed away. This scarab is inscribed for a chamber-keeper named Ameny.. Scarab Finger Ring of an Official. ca. 1802-1640 B.C.. Green jasper. Middle Kingdom. From Egypt, Memphite Region, Lisht North, south of Tomb of Nakht (493), south cemeteEarrings ca. 1836-50 Edward Burr American By the mid-nineteenth century, Americans were experiencing an era of innovation in science and industry. Among the latter was the jewelry industry, which, like fashions in dress, looked to Europe for inspiration. A nostalgic romanticism infused contemporary styles in both England and America. Such mid-eighteenth-century motifs as flowers and scrolls began to reappear. This lovely half-set of brooch and earrings emulates French and English designs in the use of dark blue enamel set with diamonds and pearls. Enameling was still a little-practiced art in America, requiring the skills of a specialized craftsman. The process involved heating vitreous (glassy) enamels to bond them onto a metal surface, in this case gold. This jewelry is still housed in its original box, the lid of which is imprinted with the name and address of the jeweler: E. W. BURR / 573 B.WAY / NEW-YORK. City directories indicate that Edward Burr moved to 573 Broadway by 1858, heZipes on black - Drawing Pins on Black Zwachen on black - Drawing Pins on BlackGem Engraved with a Warrior Looking at His Helmet; Etruria; 450 - 400 B.C; Carnelian and gold; 0.9 × 1.5 × 1 cm (3,8 × 9,16 × 3,8 in.)Medallion with cameo of the bust of Athena, from Durostorum, today Silistra, Bulgaria.

New Kingdom The ancient Egyptians adored the dung beetle as a symbol of the daily passage of the sun, as it pushed the dung ball forward it mirrored the sun disk moving across the sky. From the First Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the scarab was a popular shape for small amulets and stamp seals as a symbol for creation and resurrection. Already in the early 2ndmillennium B.C., Egyptian scarab seals spread to the Levant and Crete and soon local imitations began to appear.On this scarab, an aroused cobra (uraeus) is placed in front of a figure of the god Seth-Baal, identified by his outstretched wing, long ears and snout. Above him is a sun disk. Such representations were very popular on stamp seals during the late New Kingdom, when Seth became a kind of patron deity of the kings of the Ramesside dynasties (Dynasty 19-20, ca. 1295-1070 B.C.). Seth was closely identified with the Near Eastern god Baal, becoming a ‘hybrid’Chamberstick 1773-75 Gottlieb Satzger. Chamberstick 206242Castro Culture of the Northwest.
