A Victorian scarab pendant, the Egyptian steatite scarab set within a yellow gold and enamel wing surround, marked 15ct gold, circa 1880, measuring approximately 4.9 x 2.3cm, gross weight 7.7 grams
A fascinating and charming pendant. In 1798, Napoleon set off on a three-year journey to Egypt.

This pendant is a combination of revivalist jewellery and an excavated steatite scarab. The scarab is set within a gold frame decorated with exquisite enamel wings.
