Bidspirit auction | A Trio of Egyptian Revival

A Trio of Egyptian Revival Etched Metal Decorative Pyramids - This trio of decorative pyramids consists of three pieces in graduated sizes, designed in the Egyptian Revival style. The items are cast from a copper-based alloy, likely brass or bronze, and feature a dark, chemically patinated surface finish. The decorative elements are acid-etched or engraved into the metal, revealing the bright gold-toned base material. Each side of the pyramids is decorated with scenes inspired by Ancient Egyptian iconography, including pharaohs and deities depicted in profile. Common motifs include figures engaged in ritual acts and the sun disc with radiating rays associated with the Aten. The central scenes are surrounded by panels of pseudo-hieroglyphic symbols. These objects are typical of decorative souvenirs produced in the mid-to-late 20th century.
