Vintage Egyptian Revival brass ashtray or small trinket dish featuring an elaborate embossed central scene of the Egyptian pyramids, Sphinx, and rising sun.
The piece has a distinctive octagonal form with raised stepped sections and ornate repeated Egyptian-inspired decoration around the rim. The warm aged-gold brass finish and geometric construction give it a strong Art Deco / Egyptian Revival appearance.
