[Jewelry making - Article 01122] - [Orchid] Looking for Egyptian Pendant

Hi all,

    I've had a recent request from a customer to recreate a lost
    pendant. The original pendant was a flat octagon with a
    representation of the three Great Pyramids of Giza on one side and a
    frontal view of the sphinx on the other. The customer's description
    was a little vague, but it sounds to me like the pendant was
    die-struck, like a coin. It was probably a very inexpensive doodad,
    but had a lot of sentimental value for the customer. 

    I did some web searches to try to find something similar, but no
    dice. It seems that if someone went to the trouble to make up a die
    for this design, it should still be around somewhere. I doubt that
    anything I can make will approximate the original pendant, so I'd be
    grateful for any leads you could provide in tracking down the
    original (or similar) trinket. Please cc replies to my email address,
    as I'm still catching up on yuletide Orchid Digests.... 

    Thanks, as always, for all your help, and have a wonderful New Year!
