Vintage 1970s Gold-Tone Pharaoh Brooch Egyptian Revival Cobalt Blue Enamel Pin

Egyptian Revival brooches in this sceptre form are a specific design — not a generic pharaoh motif.

A gold-tone brooch in the form of a ceremonial sceptre, with a raised pharaoh profile on the circular head disc. The body is decorated with open-lattice chevron work and alternating panels of cobalt blue enamel. The piece is long and slender — 8.5 cm — which gives it more presence than a typical round brooch.

Egyptian Revival in costume jewelry had a major resurgence in the 1970s–80s, driven partly by renewed popular interest in ancient Egypt. This piece has the bold, clean lines of that revival period.

It works pinned at the shoulder of a black dress or coat, running vertically along a lapel. The length means it reads as a deliberate statement rather than an accent — best worn as the only brooch.
