📜 Egyptian Revival from the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD)
This striking brooch comes from the Museum of Arts and Design (New York) and is part of a museum reproduction series inspired by ancient Egyptian artifacts.

The design references a pectoral discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egyptian artistry.

✨ Design & Symbolism
At the center is the sacred scarab beetle, representing the sun god Khepri, renewal, and rebirth.
Surrounding elements echo traditional Egyptian iconography:
Kneeling figures in symmetrical composition
Lapis-blue inlays (or lapis-style enamel)
Openwork and relief detailing
Architectural, ceremonial balance typical of ancient Egyptian jewelry

The piece is crafted in gold-tone metal (gilded alloy) with dimensional relief work.
The reverse bears a copyright mark and characteristic museum insignia, confirming its museum-authorized reproduction origin.

🏛️ About MAD Museum Jewelry
The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) focuses on craft, design, and decorative arts.
Jewelry from museum stores is highly collectible, combining historical reference, artistic interpretation, and limited distribution.

Egyptian Revival jewelry became especially popular during the 1970s Tutankhamun exhibitions, and museum reproductions from this era are now sought after by collectors.

💛 Collector’s Note
Museum series jewelry has always been one of my favorite categories.
Ancient designs carry a sense of timeless beauty, but what moves me most is the cultural meaning behind them.

This scarab brooch is a wonderful example of MAD’s historical reinterpretation — a refined cultural piece that has remained in my personal collection for some time.

MAD museum pieces appear less frequently on the vintage market, and I hope this special brooch will find a new owner who appreciates its history and symbolism.
