    Can anyone help me with this mark? I'm guessing it's Arabic or Egyptian but could be totally wrong...I've tried googling but have been left more unsure than ever.....not even sure if it's the right way up!

    Welcome Janet. You're right, it is an Egyptian mark.
    It is a bit blurry, small marks are difficult to photograph, but it looks like it is an 18k gold mark.
    The city mark isn't one I recognize, it could be an upside down mark for Tanta.

    Are there any other marks?
    And could we see the item please?

    The only other mark is what looks like 160 on the clasp itself but here's picture of the item in question.

    A sweet Ankh bracelet. Very feminine.

    Yes it's very beautiful....there appears to be like scratches on a few of them...not sure if these mean anything or not

    I don't think they do.

    Definitely 18K mark. I think the assay office is Cairo, just that the loops & dots are blurred into lines.

    Yes, that is possible. Maybe a worn punch.

    Wouldn’t those have been added just to catch the light and make the bracelet sparkle in the sun or candlelight?
