amulet

Small object used as a good-luck charm or talisman. Amulets are often worn on a necklace or bracelet. Amulets were very common in ancient Egypt; the scarab, a model of the dung beetle Scarabeus sacer, symbolized the Egyptian god of the Sun, Khepri, and eternal life. Their purpose was to secure for the wearer the qualities of the creature they represented, or simply to represent a god. Present-day amulets include the St Christopher medallion, four-leaf clover, and rabbit's foot.
