The Mummy. Holland: Eddy Taytelbaum, ca. 1968. A miniature mummy vanishes from one sarcophagus and transposes to another. Carrying case composed of wood and laminate with gilt pin-striping, and lined with cloth; sarcophagi and mummies finely reverse-painted on laminate in Egyptian themes. Case approx. 4 ½ x 4 ½ x 2”. Fine. The “crown jewel” of Taytelbaum apparatus, The Mummy is prized not only for its rarity and the strength of the effect, but also for the subtly fine craftsmanship evident in its final form. Each piece was assembled with meticulous care and by superb and durable design, such that in overall appearance today it looks very much like new.
