Bidspirit auction | Two Egyptian Revival Metal Figurines

Two Egyptian Revival Metal Figurines of Nefertiti and Anubis on Stone Bases - This lot comprises two Egyptian Revival style figurines cast in a yellow-toned metal, such as brass or bronze, mounted on stone bases. The first figurine is a bust of Queen Nefertiti, wearing her iconic flat-topped crown and a broad decorative collar. It is set upon a rectangular black stone plinth, possibly slate or marble, which features two rows of incised pseudo-hieroglyphic characters highlighted with white infill on the front face. The second figurine depicts a seated jackal representing the deity Anubis, wearing a collar. This figure is mounted on a variegated brown marble base with bevelled edges. Both figures exhibit a polished finish with some natural surface patina. These items are characteristic of the 20th-century Egyptian tourist trade and the broader Egyptian Revival decorative movement.
