Two small bronze amulets of Set, one worn as pendant, from TeVelde
Amulet at the Berlin museum, via Erman, 1909, is this same one in TeVelde's photo?
The British Museum has an amulet pendant very similar to the one TeVelde shows:
Bronze amuletic figure of Seth wearing the double crown; traces of gilt; suspension ring behind the head Excavated/Findspot Tomb of Ani, Ramesside Period Height: 6.18 centimetres, Width: 1.5 centimetres, Depth: 2.06 centimetres Acquisition date: 1891, Registration number: 1891,0509.68, BM/Big number: 22897 Purchased through Sir Ernest A T Wallis Budge
These pendants may not have been that rare. The Petrie Museum has one, about two inches:
"Standing figure of Seth, left foot advanced, hands by his side, wearing the Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, the tripartite wig and pleated shendit. On flat footplate, with a suspension ring behind the Crown." Height 5.2 cms width 1.3 cms Period - Dynasty 1 ? (2890BCE-3100BCE) till Dynasty 30 (343BCE-380BCE) Petrie Museum UC8256
