One side holds a kneeling figure and a striding attendant at the foot of a pyramid; the other, a jackal-headed Anubis standing watch. Each figure is hand-chased with tiny punched florets and scale work, a quiet record of the maker's patience. Slim and softly domed, it carries cards or small keepsakes as easily as it once carried cigarettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlackened iron or steel with gold-tone damascene inlay, brass frame, elastic retaining straps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlackened iron or steel with gold-tone damascene inlay, brass frame, elastic retaining straps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1930s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle \/ design notes: Egyptian Revival motifs in Japanese damascene (zogan) work; figural scene on front, Anubis and pyramid on reverse, cartouche seals on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone or material notes: hand-chased gold-tone inlay on matte black ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: hinged cigarette or card case with push clasp and two interior elastic straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: black and gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition, with gold-tone loss on the front base bar and scattered wear to the black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurement: approximately 3.5\" x 3\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCollected by Mineral and Matter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral and Matter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67718745489643,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/9569\/files\/Egyptian1_17.png?v=1791065970","url":"https:\/\/mineralandmatter.com\/products\/vintage-egyptian-revival-damascene-cigarette-case-gold-inlay-on-blackened-steel-with-pharaoh-figures-art-deco-card-case-copy","provider":"Mineral and Matter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
