Colorful, Winged Scarab With The Symbol Of Life Ankh Royalty-Free Stock Photo

A colorfully winged, black scarab decorated with golden ornaments on a sunny background holds up a glowing sun disk, which is decorated with the golden symbol of life Ankh. The ancient Egyptians identified the divine animal with the course of the sun: the dung ball is thus transported to the sun, which it forms, and is buried, which is equivalent to the sunset. From this follows a symbolization of the sun god Re, who dies in the evening as the sun and rises again in the morning. The scarab is a lucky charm and symbolizes the resurrection and eternal life.
