Egyptian Mummy Bead Winged Scarab and Four Sons of Horus. Late Period-Ptolemaic Period, circa 664-30 B.C. Comprising a beaded winged scarab with the Four Sons of Horus beneath. 24.2 grams, 10.5 cm (4 1/8 in.). Ex Art Shop Windsor, 1990s. From a private UK collection. Winged scarabs were often used as funerary amulets and were believed to symbolise the deceased's rebirth and regeneration. The Four Sons of Horus were deities who safeguarded the deceased's internal organs. The human-headed Imsety protected the liver, the baboon-headed Hapy the lungs, the jackal-headed Duamutef the stomach, and the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef the intestines.
