Condition:
VERY GOOD. This is a stunning Art Deco Egyptian revival sarcophagus pencil pendant in very good condition overall. The gilding has lasted very well throughout the years, as has the Enamel on all sides! The pencil slides out when you give the jump ring a little pull, so you could possibly load it with lead and use it how it was originally intended! Other than subtle surface wear to the outside of the piece, its remained wonderfully intact over its 100 year life span.
