Product Info

Ombre plique a jour enamel feathers form the spreading wings of this winged scarab brooch. The enamel is reddish-orange that lightens to almost clear near the top. The wings have a row of bead-set marcasites for added sparkle. At the center is a honey-colored faceted paste stone.

This brooch dates to the decade after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, when a wave of Egyptomania erupted. It is made of 935 silver and probably of German origin.
