Pillbox - .800 silver - Nefertiti Cairo

This is a vintage-style silver snuff or pill box featuring an Egyptian-themed motif with a winged scarab.
The lid is decorated with a detailed relief design depicting Nefertiti surrounded by decorative winged elements.
This container is an Egyptian Revival piece, most likely crafted in Egypt (Cairo) during the mid-to-late 20th century (circa 1960s–1980s).
The design is executed in a highly detailed repoussé and chased relief technique, where the metal is hammered from the back to create a three-dimensional design on the front.
Top Motif: Features a central profile portrait of Queen Nefertiti.
Surrounding Elements: Flanked by protective wings and a stylized winged scarab beetle at the top edge. This design represents rebirth and protection in ancient Egyptian iconography.
