背景：圣甲虫是蜣螂的护身符；蜣螂是一种对埃及人具有特殊意义的昆虫，埃及人认为，粪球在地上滚动并滚入洞中，是模拟太阳在天空中移动和落下。圣甲虫在粪便中产卵，孵化期过后，幼虫从地下钻出。因此，埃及人用“Kheper”来表示圣甲虫，意思是“诞生”。这种生物成为造物主凯布利的化身，凯布利有着人类的身体和蜣螂的头，人们相信他把太阳从地下世界带来并让它在天空中移动。圣甲虫是埃及最受欢迎的护身符之一，从古王国末期到托勒密时期，已有 2000 多年的历史。

来源：Goddard Du Bois（生于 1869 年 - 卒于 1925 年）和 Josephine Cook Du Bois（生于 1864 年 - 卒于 1961 年）于 1900 年至 1907 年间在埃及购得，现陈列于大都会艺术博物馆（1920-1948 年）# 45.930。Goddard 和 Josephine Dubois 夫妇在 1900-07 年间频繁游历埃及各地。他们成为评估古埃及艺术的专家，并经常将他们的收藏品带给当时的埃及古物学家专家以获得额外的认可（Josephine 在埃及时的手写信件中提到了与 Barsanti 的会面）。Josephine 对她的项链收藏尤其自豪，这些项链于 1920 年被借出并展出于纽约大都会博物馆，以开设埃及珠宝画廊。
