Art Deco Silver & Enamel Sarcophagus Propelling Pencil Charm

Egyptian Revival design was a defining influence of the Art Deco period, inspired by early 20th-century archaeological discoveries that reignited fascination with ancient Egypt. Motifs such as sarcophagi, pharaohs, and sacred symbols appeared across jewellery and decorative objects, reflecting themes of eternity, protection, and mystery. This miniature sarcophagus was originally crafted as a propelling pen charm, combining novelty with practical function. The pen mechanism is now broken, and the piece remains as a distinctive charm, showcasing the sculptural form and enamel detailing characteristic of the era.
