    I'm not sure how to go about googling this pendant; I'm not finding anything at any rate. It is sort of Egyptian looking; a pharaoh maybe? Man or woman? Has anyone seen anything similar? A tourist item? If so, from where? And what might have been dangling from it? I just think it is kind of neat and would like to clean it up and restore what is missing. About 2 1/2" from top to bottom and 1" wide; non-magnetic metal. Thanks for looking and your thoughts!

    Hi,
    Do not think Egyptian but an African tribe brings to mind.

    Well done komo. I'd thought African but you pinned it. I suspect a little tourist thing.
