I'm one of the watchers. Can't help it - it's like watching a train wreck, you can't keep your eyes away as the seller keeps revising the price higher and higher.
It's an auction. That's just the opening bid. Sure to go higher.

Oh. Right. Duh. That's what happens from looking at it at almost midnight after wine. :shame:
Enabling / inspiring Pirula
Saw her love for Chevaux de Karnak, which sadly I dont own - but some Egyptian inspiration for her
i have the classic King Tut in black -not awesome in a bias fold - the black men in the bottom corners get lost in the black field, but this is a TDF scarf to wear in a triangle at the neck

part 3 busy Egyptian scarf
There is so much going on in this one that I got it in a busy-cancelling monochrome cw, the cw does not feel especially Egyptian to me, to me Ramses is the ultimate Egyptian cw, while the black King Tut makes me think of the museum setting for the gold mask

Oh wow Marietouchet! Thanks for this! these are marvelous!
I've seen the first one many times on the resale market, in endless cws. You're right that this black one does bring to mind the dark museum rooms where they keep the mummies; and when I was a kid I went to the big King Tut exhibit at the Met and the rooms were just like this, dark black, with glowing gold everywhere.
I've not seen the second scarf before. I can see how it would be a workhorse with all those different colors! The stone pharoah does seem rather out of place with the rest of the design, at least to me. I would love to see a scarf of similar design, with the heiroglyphic figures and toned down, softened colors like the ones in Egypt that time has dulled a bit.
The third is the one I'd get if I ever feel the need for another Egyptian scarf. It's FABULOUS frankly. And while no, that color isn't Egyptian at all, (now a darker lapis blue would have been!) I think that the monochrome effect is perfection with all the very, very cool design busy-ness. Love the scarab, and the lotus.
And thank you, I am so very excited about Chevaux de Karnak. I just hope I like the moussie format!
ETA: Why is there no Sphinx scarf? Or Nefertiti scarf? Or Sekhmet scarf?? (OMG I'd love one of those!). There's so much more to Egypt than King Tut! (though I grant you, Ramses is big).
PPS: Never mind thank you I see it. Tresors du Nile. So very very cool.

Dearest Marietouchet:
I thought you might enjoy this: a WWI era "tourist trash" souvenir I got in Luxor. Ramses the Great. It weighs a TON! Made out of the stone found in the Black Desert. Some sort of basalt, I think.
Actually, I take it back. If memory serves, this is actually Thutmose III.

No Sphinx scarf sadly
And Nefertiti as we all I've her lives in a Berlin ( read German ) museum so would never be on an Hermes
