Cast White Metal Sphinx with Slider.

[leigh kitchen]

Can anyone identify this sphinx badge please?
Of cast white metal it measures 38mm wide x 20mm high.

I can't identify this style of sphinx as being worn by any unit although it bears a resemblance to a Gordon Highlanders OSD collar badge I've seen an illustration of although that has a tail.

Theres no indication of any part of this badge having been removed or broken off.

A pagri or fez or a servants or mess waiters headress badge, a badge of a non- British unit, just a little fantasy piece?
