These fantastic pair has been crafted around the 1870 in the fashion style of the Egyptian Revival in solid yellow gold of 18 karats and embellishments of colorful enamels; such blue, white, turquoise and red. These earrings were designed in the shape of a crowned pharaoh with nemes headdresses and column from the hypostyle saloon, they are fitted on top with French hooks for pierced ears. The initial Egyptian Revival period flourished from the 1820s onward, and was inspired by ancient Egyptian imagery, such as the scarab beetle, sphinxes, pharaohs, and hieroglyphics. Pieces made by Carl Bacher from this period and style are extremely rare, museum pieces and highly collectable.
Nemes
This were pieces of striped head cloth worn by pharaohs in ancient Egypt. It covered the whole crown and behind of the head and nape of the neck (sometimes also extending a little way down the back) and had lappets, two large flaps which hung down behind the ears and in front of both shoulders. It was sometimes combined with the double crown, as it is on the statues of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel. The earliest depiction of the nemes, along with a uraeus, is the ivory label of Den from the 1st Dynasty. It is not a crown in itself, but still symbolizes the pharaoh's power.
