<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carl Wilmont, post: 4551610, member: 75496&quot;][USER=77226]@Orange Julius[/USER], the ring appears to be in very good condition and has a nice portrait.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does it fit any of your fingers? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER], I like the style of Egyptian art- and I expect that your sister does too, since you selected for her the two fine gifts of an ancient ushabti and an Egyptian Revival scarab.&nbsp;&nbsp; The scarabs <i>are</i> reminiscent of computer mice- right or left click on the wings! </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a photo of the base of my steatite scarab [circa 1650 BC, 2nd Intermediate Period (Hyksos)].&nbsp; The seal is engraved with a scarab at the center that is flanked by two Egyptian crowns and two falcons. Similar to ancient coins, it&#039;s amazing how much information and artistry is sometimes squeezed onto a very small surface.&nbsp;&nbsp; The base of this scarab is only 0.82 inches long.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1126962[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
