Symbol Identification on Pranda Gold Charm

[FLCarolina]

I am seeking help with identifying symbols on a charm that I purchased for my niece while visiting Thailand in 1996. The charm is Prima Gold from Pranda Jewelry company and I have attached a photo of it here.

I would like to share the meaning with my niece but also would like to purchase a similar charm for her mother. If anyone can assist me with either, I would be very appreciative.

It is ancient Egyptian script-or based on such-the first symbol-an ankh ="nh", the last an "s"

Hope this is of some help

Thank you for your reply. The information helped me to find this link which I believe is the answer to identification.

Now I need to track down how to order a similar charm for my sister ! Any thoughts on how to purchase a Prima Gold Charm from the USA?

Excellent! Thanks for getting back and letting me know-it was bugging me as I knew I had seen it-or something similar before. Sorry I can not help with how to purchase in the USA other than checking Asian gold shops in Florida you may be lucky as it is probably not a product unique to Pranda Jewelery. There may also be some similar gold shops in cities that have a large Chinese population
