<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 100266, member: 44&quot;]The patent 3427691 is for a &quot;Coupling Device&quot; by inventor J.R. Johnston. The patent was filed in Sept. 1965:</p><p><a href="http://www.google.com/patents/US3427691" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.google.com/patents/US3427691" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/patents/US3427691</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As to who she is, like komo... said it could well be the Egyptian goddess Nathor, AKA Nut and Nuit. I haven&#039;t found any pics of her holding an ankh or a Wadj scepter yet.</p><p><a href="http://symboldictionary.net/?p=583" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://symboldictionary.net/?p=583" rel="nofollow">http://symboldictionary.net/?p=583</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Another suggestion is that it might be the goddess Ma&#039;at. I have seen her depicted holding an ankh (symbol of eternal life) and a Wadj scepter (symbol of power); however, have not seen her in this headdress.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maat" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maat" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maat</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also have seen the goddess Isis holding an ankh and this type of scepter. Again the headdress isn&#039;t right.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis</a></p><p><a href="http://the-many-names-of-god.com/egyptian/names-of-god-egyptian/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://the-many-names-of-god.com/egyptian/names-of-god-egyptian/" rel="nofollow">http://the-many-names-of-god.com/egyptian/names-of-god-egyptian/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Does the back of pendent have any Egyptian symbols or hieroglyphics like a cartouche?</p><p><br /></p><p>An ankh is &quot;carried in the hands of many Egyptian deities and usually represents the life-giving elements of air and water. It was often shown being offered to the king&#039;s lips as a symbol of the &quot;breath of life.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Wadj &quot;was used as an amulet that was important enough to merit its own spell in the Book of the Dead. Wadj-amulets were worn by the living as well as the dead. In iconography, the Wadj occurs as a sceptre held by a goddess.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://michaleam.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-does-it-all-mean-egyptian-symbols.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://michaleam.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-does-it-all-mean-egyptian-symbols.html" rel="nofollow">http://michaleam.blogspot.com/2015/08/what-does-it-all-mean-egyptian-symbols.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
