The scarab (<i>kheper</i> in ancient Egyptian) is the hieroglyph that means “to come into being,” and so it was worn as jewelry by both the living and the dead. Its potent symbolism comes from the observation of the beetle rolling a little ball of dung toward its nest from which its young hatch.

The scarab (ISAC E25260) was a gift to Harold Nelson, the first Field Director of the University of Chicago’s Epigraphic Survey, from his staff on his 50<sup>th</sup>birthday in November 1928. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:start; margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="line-height:18.4px"><span style="font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">plushie for all ages 5" diameter </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> </div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-suq-product-price"><div class="field-content"><p><strong>$19.50</strong></p></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-suq-product-image"><div class="field-content"><hr class="clr" /> <p class="imgrt"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/column-image/public/terracotta_tee_black_ink.jpg?itok=JZfucRU6" width="270" height="270" alt="" class="image-style-column-image" /> </p></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-title"><span class="field-content"><h3><a id="3884" name="3884"></a>King Tut T shirt</h3></span></div><div class="views-field views-field-body"><div class="field-content"><p>Our very own King Tut on a 100% preshrunk terracotta cotton t shirt with black ink.

The text introduces the historical and cultural setting of Egypt during her time. Essays and artifacts examine the role of music and of musicians in Egyptian temple cults, their training, and the types of musical instruments that Meresamun would have used. The life of Meresamun outside the temple is explored, with emphasis upon her social and legal status, what other professions were available to her, and what home life was like. The study of the life of this individual is augmented by forensic evidence obtained with the newest generation of CT scanners that sheds light on Meresamun's life and death.</p> </div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-suq-product-price"><div class="field-content"><p><strong>$37.95</strong></p></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-suq-product-sale-price"><div class="field-content"><p><strong><em>Sale: $22.95</em></strong></p></div></div> </div> <div class="view-footer"> <hr class="clr" /><p class="rtecenter"><a class="btn" href="/node/2709">Place Your Order Here</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-container"> <footer id="footer"></footer> <div class="new-footer"> <div class="footer-columns"> <div class="footer-col col1"> <a href="https://uchicago.edu"> <img src="/themes/custom/ucoi/images/uc_wordmark.svg" alt="UChicago Logo"> </a> </div> <div class="footer-col col2"> <div class="region region-footer-second-new column"> <div id="block-organizationname" class="block block-block-content block-block-content1aff4012-a69f-4fd2-868b-72aeb0150203"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures</strong><br /> The University of Chicago<br /> 1155 E 58th St.<br /> Chicago, IL 60637</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-col col3"> <div class="region region-footer-third-new column"> <div id="block-museumhours" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentf2f5df21-4081-474f-b985-810bf6f32f60"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>ISAC Museum Hours:</strong><br /> Tuesday–Thursday, Saturday–Sunday<br /> 10:00am–4:00pm<br /> Friday<br /> 10:00am–8:00pm<br /><a href="https://oi100.uchicago.edu/visit-museum">Visitor Information</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-col col4"> <div class="region region-footer-fourth-new column"> <div id="block-sociallinks" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentdc4852d3-47eb-4b00-8fd4-30e94bb4049f"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="ss-icon ss-social-regular"><a href="https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:Join/signupId:1702534/acctId:1701634" title="Newsletter">mail</a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/OrientalInstitute" title="Facebook">facebook</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/orientalinst" title="Twitter">twitter</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TheOrientalInstitute" title="YouTube">youtube</a> <a href="/node/3708" title="RSS">rss</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-copyright"> <p> <a href="/user/login?destination=%2Fnode%2F2708" class="login-link">©</a> 2024 The University of Chicago </p> </div> </div> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","scriptPath":null,"pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/2708","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"google_analytics":{"account":"UA-3572058-1","trackOutbound":true,"trackMailto":true,"trackTel":true,"trackDownload":true,"trackDownloadExtensions":"7z|aac|arc|arj|asf|asx|avi|bin|csv|doc(x|m)?|dot(x|m)?|exe|flv|gif|gz|gzip|hqx|jar|jpe?g|js|mp(2|3|4|e?g)|mov(ie)?|msi|msp|pdf|phps|png|ppt(x|m)?|pot(x|m)?|pps(x|m)?|ppam|sld(x|m)?|thmx|qtm?|ra(m|r)?|sea|sit|tar|tgz|torrent|txt|wav|wma|wmv|wpd|xls(x|m|b)?|xlt(x|m)|xlam|xml|z|zip"},"user":{"uid":0,"permissionsHash":"568c874a7286c8ee0b25d28ba4ca6b13e94a558d5d3609b623fd2a3f6d51a728"}}</script> <script src="/core/assets/vendor/jquery/jquery.min.js?v=3.6.3"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupalSettingsLoader.js?v=9.5.2"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupal.js?v=9.5.2"></script> <script src="/core/misc/drupal.init.js?v=9.5.2"></script> <script src="/modules/contrib/google_analytics/js/google_analytics.js?v=9.5.2"></script> <script src="/themes/custom/ucoi/js/script.js?v=1.x"></script> <script src="/themes/custom/ucoi/js/search.js?v=1.x"></script> </body> </html>
