Does anyone know the origin culture of this face pendant wit a symbol on the back of 2 lionlike animals atop a gateway?

Thanks

I would suggest Greece. The image on the rear seems to be a depiction of the "Lion Gate" at Mycenae.

Exactly, and "Agamemnon's mask" on the other side. Souvenir from Greece, possibly 1960's - 70's.
