An antique Egyptian Revival reversible brass panel watch fob, each of the five panels with a different Egyptian image.  With the discovery of King tut's tomb in 1922 Egyptian design was the fashion, with Egyptian scenes/ motifs like pharaohs, pyramids, hieroglyphics, a sphinx and more.

I believe the Egyptian Revival watch fob chain dates back to the 1920's.

Watch fob chains have been popular since the 16th century as a means to connect a pocket watch to a buttonhole or waistcoat so that the pocket watch could quickly be retrieved from the pocket. As time passed, the fobs and fob chains became more decorative, jewelry-like and more of a fashion statement.
