An unusual Egyptian Revival ring, crafted in 18 karat gold in 1947 and set with a carved lapis lazuli. The shoulders are modelled with the unmistakable imagery of Tutankhamun’s innermost sarcophagus coffin - a motif that captured worldwide attention after Howard Carter’s discovery in 1922.The rectangular lapis lazuli (8 × 5 mm) is carved in low relief and set within a smooth gold bezel. The shoulders display stylised portrait details of the pharaoh’s gold coffin, now softly rubbed from wear, yet still recognisable. The band tapers to the reverse and is engraved with geometric detailing.Hallmarks: Egyptian assay marks for 18 karat gold, including the Cairo “Larus” hallmark, the Arabic fineness mark, and the date letter for 1947. The ring also carries a French owl import stamp for 18K gold, added when it was retailed in France.Measurements: UK size Q½ / US size 8.25. Weight: 6.46 g.Condition: Very good, with some rubbing to the shoulder detail consistent with wear. The lapis remains securely set with good colour.This piece sits firmly in the Egyptian Revival tradition, which saw renewed popularity following the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Rings such as this were typically produced in Egypt for the tourist and export market, often by established Cairo workshops, blending ancient symbolism with modern craftsmanship.
