Egyptian amulet (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
scarab
'egyptian amulet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Large dark beetle" , "Beetle revered in ancient Egypt" , "Beetle, sacred to the ancient Egyptians" , "Sacred Eygptian beetle" , "Sacred Egyptian beetle" .)
