This vintage Egyptian revival retractable gilt pencil pendant features the shape of a Pharaoh's Sarcophagus. The pendant is crafted to resemble a miniature writing tool, often adorned with enameled hieroglyphic-like details or motifs inspired by the tombs of the Kings. Its petite size makes it a great pendant jewelry and functional note-taking writer. A great example of the Western fascination with Egyptian art during the early 20th-century revival era.
