Flatback Celluloid Scarab Beetle 25x20mm Cream

These original 1920s celluloid cream scarab beetles do not have holes. They have a 25x20mm flatback which can be glued onto a flat surface, such as a flat bead or set into a frame. Use an epoxy glue e.g., Araldite if adhering to another material. Alternatively, set into a Fimo clay which you need to bake to set. The fine grooves or channels can be used to embellish with small chain or stones.
In Ancient Egypt the scarab was revered, known for its divine affiliation with the sun God Ra and has been seen as a form of a protection ever since.
