Description
I purchased this a few years ago at a thrift shop in a bag of headbands. Apparently, they thought it was a headband but clearly it was not. It is made from either IRON or Silver. It has Egyptian motifs on it, and is worn on one side. The design is carved and not and not pressed in designed. I can tell because although they are asymmetrical, the motifs are not exact and have some flaws like a real craftsman's work. I believe it to be Egyptian, because of the motifs. the best it looks like is a necklace for health. Also the shop I purchased it from has a large Egyptian community. Please tell me if its an artifact or if its worth anything. I have had it for two years now. Any help, I would appreciate.

History
Purchase in a bag of used headbands, but this is not a head band. It resembles a neck collar a person would wear in ancient Egypt who wanted to improve their health by the motifs carved in it. I have more photos but they have to be emailed to you.

Re: Unidentified Neck Collar/Necklace
I am interested in selling it, if I can identify what it is first. I appreciate any information. Thank you.
