Copper Neclace I.D./Age?

[TJE]

Hi folks, anyone know much about this? Looks handmade, I picked it up for $2.00 at a thrift store. Did a search (maybe King Tut is the face?), has 2 drab green stones. It is 4 1/2 inches long x 2 wide (top part pivots back & forwards)...Plus, should I clean it/and if,with what?
Thanks for any help.

Looks like a Mexican Aztec design to me.

My first thought was Egyptian also. Breezy will probably have an answer for you.

Don't know what that is taz, Church music?

Egyptian revival was 1920s , Egyptian designs were popular including architecture and jewelry.
If you search for "Egyptian revival necklace king"you will see similar.
Im guessing thats what it is im not a jewelry expert though.

BosnMate, thanks for your vote of confidence. My area is Victorian, but your necklace looks like a 1960-ish Mexican piece. The ones below are similar in design and are in copper.

Actually now that I've had a second look, he does appear to be wearing an Egyptian headdress. Very similar to this-

That's the closest I've found too DU, (w/5 prong headdress) ?...I'll keep snooping...just magnified the clasp..think it says "solid copper"..that's all. So probably not too old? Think Breezie's 60ish it may be.
