Scarab Ring

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Scarab Ring by its artist, features a ring with a large, oval-shaped scarab bead as its centerpiece. The scarab is primarily green with brown and black accents. It has a distinctive design with a raised, smooth top and etched lines forming a cross-like pattern on its back. The sides of the scarab feature protrusions resembling a head and legs. The ring's band is thin and made of a dark, weathered metal with visible signs of aging and wear, exhibiting a green patina matching the scarab's coloration. The band is connected to the scarab via two small metal extensions on either side that fit into the scarab's protrusions. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
