Descripción : AN EGYPTIAN GREEN SCHIST HEART SCARAB Late Period, circa 664-332 B.C. Of naturalistic form, the underside inscribed with the standard formula of chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead, mostly faded, reading: '[...] the Osiris, the prophet and god's father [...]', 6.4cm long Provenance: Belgian private collection, Brussels, acquired in the 1970s. With Galerie Harmakhis, Brussels. Literature: The common idea that the heart scarab was designed to replace the heart after its removal at mummification remains questionable. The Egyptians feared that the heart, the seat of memory and conscience, would testify against the deceased at the Divine Tribunal. Placing a heart scarab within the mummy wrappings or over the heart, or near the neck, of the mummy of the deceased was designed to prevent this. They are often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead imploring the heart not to abandon its owner.
