Modern or ancient scrab? Made from stone. I have only images

Russ:
Hi Cot,

I'm sorry but I think your scarab is modern. Perhaps, I should not say this, but one of the main give aways is the angular carving - it is the fastest way to carve and not in keeping with the apprenticeship standards of the ancient Egyptians.
