Is this an Egyptian mark, and if so, would the piece be sterling, how old, and from where? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it’s an Egyptian Marking from Cairo, after 1968.
Hello Linda
Yes, it’s an Egyptian Marking; from left to right:
Assay office mark of Cairo (upper part), and 900 (in Arabic ciphers, read from left to right) = no Sterling fineness.
Lotus-flower = Indication for Egypt, from 1968 on.
Date letter (in Arabic letters) = Actually unknown.
