Description

This Egyptian Revival sarcophagus charm is a detailed miniature inspired by ancient Egyptian funerary art. Designed as an opening sarcophagus, it features coloured enamel decoration in turquoise, white and deep blue tones. Inside, the hinged case reveals a removable enamelled mummy figure, giving the charm an unusual interactive element as well as strong collector appeal.

Design & Craftsmanship

The charm is formed as a tapering sarcophagus with a sculpted pharaonic face and enamelled Egyptian-style motifs across the front, sides and reverse. The hinged construction opens to reveal a fitted interior and a separate miniature mummy figure decorated with further enamel. Meanwhile, the silver surface shows engraved and relief details that give the piece depth despite its compact scale. The combination of silver, enamel and moving parts is typical of the novelty and revival jewellery that became popular alongside renewed interest in ancient Egypt.

How to Style

This Egyptian Revival sarcophagus charm would suit a collector of Egyptian Revival jewellery, antique novelty charms or vintage silver miniatures. It can be worn on a charm bracelet or suspended from a fine silver chain as a small pendant. It would also appeal to someone with an interest in Egyptology, archaeology or unusual mechanical jewellery.
