Evidence & Historical Context
Editorially reviewedDocumented identification
A contemporary heraldic crest centred on the historically documented Egyptian scarab motif associated with Khepri.
Historical meaning
Scarab imagery was linked with kheper, ‘coming into being’, the sun’s daily renewal and Khepri as the rising or becoming sun; scarabs also served as amulets and seals.
Scholarly interpretation
Ancient scarabs survive in varied forms and contexts, while the surrounding crest is a new composition rather than an excavated Egyptian emblem.
Modern associations
In this modern crest, Khepri and the scarab are associated with renewal, transformation, protection, hope and beginning again.
Research warning
Do not describe the complete crest as an ancient object or assume that every historical scarab carried one identical Khepri interpretation.
Provenance: Contemporary crest based on ancient scarab amulets and the solar association of Khepri.
