Currently available, we have this delightfully Rare and impressively unique, Antique / Vintage 1920's -1930's circa Egyptian Revival sarcophagus and mummy charm.
This charm displays a hieroglyphic detailed sarcophagus, complete with its matching mummy on the inside. With care, the mummy can be removed.
This piece has been crafted from solid 800 silver, displaying enamel details, and would have once been entirely gold gilt, however, the gold on the outside has worn significantly over time, while the inside of the sarcophagus and the little mummy remain quite well preserved.
This little sarcophagus would make an interesting addition to any collection, and could be worn on either a charm bracelet, or a neck chain as a small pendant.
These sarcophagus charms have become increasingly hard to find, more so to find complete with their mummy, making these intact pieces quite a desirable collectors addition.
