Egypt, the land on the Nile, has always inspired European art and culture. Art in the Egyptian style was created in Rome as early as the time of Caesar, and the first true Egyptomania in modern history was triggered by Napoleon's campaign on the Nile. Since then, there have been numerous waves of enthusiasm for Egypt in architecture, applied arts and fashion. Designs decorated with scarabs, the sacred beetles worshipped in ancient Egypt as symbols of the sun god Re, were particularly popular. This beautifully crafted pin takes up this ancient motif again. The showpiece is a scarab made of salmon-coloured Mediterranean coral. Set in lightly gold-plated silver, the sacred beetle has outstretched wings, as was often the case in ancient Egyptian art. The wings of the mythical creature are enameled in bright white and lime green. This gives the wings a particularly delicate appearance. The needle, which was created in the c. 1900s, impresses with its craftsmanship and exotic motifs. According to the hallmark, it was exported to Marseille in earlier times. A beautiful piece for all friends of ancient Egypt!
