Etched glass oblong pendant with hand painted detail depicting a pharaoh's head on a 12k GF chain, made during the Egyptian Revival period of the 1920s
From Collector's Weekly: "The demand for Egyptian designs boomed again during the 1920s, after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 spread Egyptian imagery throughout the western world. Newsreel footage of archaeological digs and Hollywood depictions of the gilded Egyptian empire sealed the deal: Egyptian style was red hot."
