Hello, I have an Egyptian revival silver repoussé pendant which has two stamps on the back. Can anyone help me to identify the maker and age of the pendant? I'm sorry about the yellow background reflection in the first picture.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Marks are upside down.
The first mark is for fineness .800 in Arabic.
The second mark is date letter in Arabic,too.It was used in 1946 and again for 1996.
There is no national mark.See also here:

Egyptian Revivalism culminated in the 1920s as part of the Art Deco movement in the WEST.
Your pendant was made in Egypt,so it does not fit the definition of Egyptian revival.
