    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.

    African.....i'm not sure of any specific tribe who made yours......but the image is of a Reliquary figure from the Kota of Gabon ....

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