	From the mid 1920's this marvelous fob commemorates the opening of the Tutankhamun excavation in 1922 -23. Tut-mania ensued and all things Egyptian were very in vogue. This delightful fob appears to be made of brass and is 5.5 inches long. Note the fanciful figures on each plate and the large King Tut medal fob at the bottom. The back of the medal has a star and symbol design and the back of each piece is just as artfully designed as the front. Original swivel clip has an extra safety bar and this piece is in unworn condition. A fab find for the Tutankhamun memorabilia collector or the 1920's aficionado. Use it as originally intended as a fob or wear it as a wonderful antique piece of jewelry. Be sure to view all the photos! Order "LK9-#291kingtut," $99.00.
