Sold! White soapstone Egyptian scarab beetle beads

Well, these three lovelies have sold! I always really liked them because they had such a beautiful silky feel.

Bottom, with the hieroglyphics...and the tops

Each of these beads:

• were hand carved out of white soapstone.
• weren't antiqued, glazed, or dyed.
• were drilled lengthwise (front to back) all the way through.
• contained intricate hieroglyphics carved into the bottom.

The shortest bead was just a bit shorter than a quarter and the longest was just under an inch long--the bead sizes ‘step down’ in length.
