The necklace measures 60cm and the pendant is 6cm x 6.5cm. The glass beads have a drop of 4cm. A Short History... In 1922, Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun and, thereby, ignited a Western fascination with Ancient Egypt which permeated the Arts. Jewellery designers created heavily stylised profiles of people and images taken from tomb walls and incorporated them into their work. Reviving Egyptian motifs was a real 1920s celebration of adventure and breaking down cultural barriers. Wear it With... In wonderful condition, this pendant is perfect for an Egyptian Revival collector.
