1875 Chromolithograph Egyptian Jewelry Design Necklace Amulet Scarab Ra LOR1

This is an original 1875 color chromolithograph that depicts, in superb detail, a variety of Egyptian artifacts from the necropoles. A unique feature of this illustration, which may be difficult to see in the digital image, is the use of gold ink which not only shimmers when it catches the light but also accentuates some of the finer details that might otherwise be missed.
