Vintage 1940s Gold-tone (gold metal alloy) Egyptian Revival Queen Brooch. She is draped in a headdress befitting a Queen. Traditional pin-back closure. Pin measures 1.25 inches wide x 2 inches tall. Pin is in excellent, vintage condition (some minor age wear to the gold alloy). There are a five Seed Pearls missing from her neck collar (easily replaced by a jeweler). If I can find the correct size in my bead box, I store will include the extra replacement Pearls.

**Produced by major fashion-jewelry firms like the Napier Company in New York, Egyptian Revival Jewelry was typically made from flashy golden forms featuring carved hieroglyphics, pharaoh's heads, sphinxes, and even mummies. The demand for Egyptian designs boomed during the 1920s, after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 spread Egyptian imagery throughout the western world.
