Featured Egyptian Scarab bead

Good evening
Today I finally got my first Egyptian Scarab. It's made of Faience, a Egyptian type of ceramic. I am trying to figure out if it could be determined how old it is? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This Site has a section on scarabs & ushabtis.

Great site!
I've been coveting an Egyptian scarab but have been reluctant to buy since it seems the vast majority available on the market are fakes.
Here's page one of the scarab info on the site that @bosko69 linked:

Jannie, where did you purchase your scarab and what were you told about it?

 

I got it at Milnerton Market in Cape Town. This seller sells a lot of antique and tribal articles. Silver, glass, jewelry etc. This scarab was amongst a lot of other jewelry items in sort of a 'scratch patch'. We weren't sure if it is vintage or a real Egyptian Scarab. I was very dirty when I got it. I can't seem to find similar looking ones on the web and I went through the page explaining fakes too. The shape without the split wings are not that common it seems.
I still like ig even if it turns out to be a revival.

Good morning
So I went and do some research. This is a Gymnopleurus beetle. It fits the ones used between 1570 and 656 BC. The material it's made of fits and I can't find the design in any of the mass produced fakes.
