Egyptian Cat Pin Badge - Gold Plated

Product Description: This Egyptian Cat pin badge is made from lead-free pewter that is 22ct gold plated and is supplied on a pin with separate clasp. The pin badge is mounted on an information card, which has images of a wadjet eye pectoral with hieroglyphics down the sides on the front and describes about fine jewellery in ancient Egyptian times on the reverse.

Information: Some of the most common jewellery in ancient Egypt were amulets and charms designed to protect the wearer from mysterious and hostile forces.

The finest jewellery was worn only by the king and the royal family, the court and temple priests. The court and temples were therefore the main employers of goldsmiths and most of the gold that was produced was held in the king’s treasury.
