Rectangular Hieroglyphic Egyptian Cartouche Necklace

Description

My engraved rectangular gold hieroglyphic Egyptian cartouche necklace is from Galal Jewellery in the Bazaar of Khan El Khalili in Cairo, Egypt. I believe it is from the 1970s, and I am not sure if it is made of gold or only gold-plated silver. It is engraved with the hieroglyphics that spell "Susan".
