✅ SOLVED help with this one please - watch fob? medal ?

[MadPoetLaw]

My buddy found this and while it's in pretty good shape we are puzzled as to what it is. Almost looks like a military medal that would be worn or perhaps some sort of fob. The bottom portion picturing the sphinx shows some wear but otherwise it's in great shape. Other than the Egyptian hieroglyphs (which i think are decoration not an actual inscription) there is nothing written on the piece. Appears to be made of stamped brass and is fairly thin. Any ideas ?

What we know so far: The crescent moon and star as well as the hand and star are Islamic symbols which kind of fits with the man and woman in Arabic dress also pictured

seems like a hodge podge of middle eastern images from the hamsa hand to the"magic coin"on bottom.almost surely tourist trade item as the"coin"on bottom is mirror image of "egyption mysterious magic coin"...and not a very good job of it

........my guess a trinket.very cool tho.

Art Deco Double sided Egyptian Revival watch fob ​

This double sided raised relief Egyptian revival watch fob chain was a grand tour item that was sold during the revival in the 20's of King Tut's Tomb. Each side had a different scent (totaling 10). The round fob at the bottom has the sphinx on one side and a seated pharaoh on the other.
