The Phoenician Bronze Scarab is one of the most culturally fascinating artefacts of the ancient Mediterranean world, bridging the gap between Egyptian spirituality and the masterful seafaring trade network of the Phoenicians (modern Lebanon) (c. 1500–300 B.C.).
Unlike pure Egyptian scarabs, which were heavily religious, a Phoenician-crafted scarab represents the ultimate ancient "multicultural crossover" piece.
