Egyptian Cartouche Jewelry Box
Product Description
6-1/4 inches long by 2-1/2 inches high by 3-5/8 inches wide
hand detailed and painted, heavy weight cold cast resin, weighs over 2 pounds
hinged lid opens to reveal 3 oval black velvet flocked compartments
highly detailed imagery includes a large scarab, eye of horus, and Egyptian figures
main color is antique gold, with lapis blue, red, black, and white
This heavy little box is highly detailed with imagery of ancient Egypt. The hinged lid opens to reveal three small oval compartments which are coated with a black flocked velvet-like material. It seems to be designed primarily to lie flat; it will also stand upright, but the back is not detailed, it is a flocked black velvet, and there is no catch mechanism on the lid.
The image of the scarab, conveying ideas of transformation, renewal, and resurrection, is ubiquitous in ancient Egyptian art. (some information adapted from Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia)
