Vintage Silver Egyptian Revival Panel Bracelet with Faience Scarabs

This is a vintage Egyptian Revival panel bracelet, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1920s-1950s). The bracelet is composed of eight distinct rectangular openwork panels with ornate scalloped borders, connected by textured horizontal bar links. The symmetry of the design features paired motifs: two outer panels depicting a crescent moon and star (often associated with Middle Eastern / Turkish symbology), followed by panels featuring a walking elephant in relief, then panels depicting a Pharaoh's head in a traditional nemes headdress. The central two panels feature turquoise-colored ceramic or glass faience scarabs with gold-tone etched detailing in the wings. The construction appears to be silver-tone metal, potentially sterling or high-grade silver, exhibiting a deep natural patina and oxidation consistent with age, particularly in the recessed areas of the filigree. The craftsmanship displays die-struck repoussé techniques and fine beaded border work. Visible condition includes minor surface scratches and light wear to the gold-tone accents on the scarabs. The clasp is a traditional hook-and-eye mechanism. No obvious maker's marks are visible on the front, suggesting hallmarks may be located on the reverse or the clasp. This piece represents the fascination with Egyptology that peaked during various 'revival' periods of the 20th century.
