Prehistoric axe
Homo Habilis stone hand axes. Fits easily into the palm with indented area for the thumb. These tools were likely used to cut plants or meat but may have also served as weapons when hunting animals for food. Most tools were clearly intended to be used by the bare hands although some were fitted to wooden handles. Great Rift Valley, Africa
Egyptian scarab
Carved light green limestone heart scarab, standing falcon on the top, to the bottom a cartouche with the seated Sun God Ra holding an Ankh. Once placed on the throat, chest, or heart of the Mummy. Some were worn by the deceased on a necklace, or mounted in gold settings as a pectoral. Heart scarabs provided the bearer with the assurance that at the final judgment as depicted in the Book of the Dead, the bearer would be found "True of Voice" and accepted into the eternal afterlife by the God Osiris. At the bottom, a cartouche with beetle. Third Intermediate Period.
