My guess(and I do mean guess) is Egyptian and looks like a beetle shape. Would like to see some other views. Repeat: this is a guess.

There for a minute I thought is was both halves of a Turtle Shell that was carved.

Glad I didn't say that... Oh, I just did!!

Probably. Any idea what it's carved out of?

A university should be able to help you out.

By the way, welcome to the site!

There are a LOT of people on here that are full of good information and they are happy to help. It might take a bit for someone to cruise by and notice your original post though.

No... that's what the internet is for... try some searches on Egyptian Hieroglyphics meanings.

Translation “ Buy more Ovaltine”

Welcome to TreasureNet! It definitely has the Scarab Beetle shape. One side is the cartouche maybe?
In all probability, it means “This is a tourist trade item. Please pay the cashier as you exit the building!”

Research "egyptian scarab". You will find your answers there.
