• The Figures: It depicts an ancient Egyptian royal couple framed between two grand architectural columns. The male figure wears a traditional pharaonic crown, while the female goddess figure wears a horned headdress with a sun disk, traditionally associated with Hathor or Isis. [1, 2]
• The Eyes of Horus: Positioned directly above the figures are two stylized Eye of Horus (Wedjat or Udjat) symbols, which ancient Egyptians used to represent protection, royal power, and good health. [1, 2]
• The Central Lotus: Between the couple stands a stylized lotus flower staff, symbolizing rebirth and creation.
• Market Context & Discovery
  A large wave of this Egyptian revival costume jewelry was produced by manufacturers like Avon and MFA Boston to celebrate the massive global tour of the King Tutankhamun exhibition during the late 1970’s.
