The design of this ring is inspired by ancient Egyptian examples. It is centered by a carved steatite Scarab, which displays hieroglyphs at the back. Scarabs were holy animals in Ancient Egypt. The beetle was one of their most popular amulets because the insect was a symbol of the sun god Ra. The setting in which the scarab is placed is able to swivel around, so you can either look at the scarab or turn it to use the back as a seal. 

The rediscovery of Egyptian treasures and monuments in the early 19th Century created the first wave of Egyptian-inspired designs. However, the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 unleashed a rue craze for everything Egyptian, thereby greatly influencing art, architecture, and fashion. It is likely that this ring was created in the decade after this discovery.
