# Scarabs: An Introduction to the Study of Egyptian Seals and Signet Rings, With Forty-Four Plates and One Hundred and Sixteen Illustrations in the Text

Scarab beetles, carved from stone and faience, were among the most common objects in ancient Egypt, where they served as seals, amulets and signet rings. Percy Newberry, a leading British Egyptologist of his day, set out to explain how to study them in this introduction, first published in 1906. It is illustrated throughout, with forty-four plates and more than a hundred figures set into the text.

This edition is a facsimile reprint, so its pages keep the look and feel of an Edwardian scholarly volume. It will suit collectors, students of Egyptology and anyone who has looked closely at a scarab in a museum case and wanted to know more about it.
