Scarab with Antelope and Uraei ca. 1640-1500 B.C. (late Middle Bronze Age IIB-IIC) Second Intermediate Period Canaanite scarabs of the late Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1640-1500 B.C.) frequently show scenes with a wild animal such as a lion, ibex, antelope or crocodile, or to a lesser extent with a donkey or hippo, only a few examples depict bulls. Except for the donkey and bull, these animals live in the wild and were feared as well as respected. During this period, Canaanite seal carvers decorated the interior of animals with parallel lines, or short strokes to represent their fur. It has been suggested that compositions with wild animals symbolize the successful dominance over nature and control over chaos. The animal represented on this scarab is a species of antelope with short horns. Cobras lie at its forelegs and above its back. Scarab with Antelope and Uraei. ca. 1640-1500 B.C.
