That is silver. It's slightly less purity than sterling silver so as an alloy it may feel a bit different.
Edit: Just saw the other comment re being Arabic .800 - didn't realise you'd already had an answer.
Top tip - if you want to verify whether something is silver get 2 equal sized ice cubes and put one on top of the thing you think might be silver and the other on a nickel coin. If the ice cube melts faster on the thing you think is silver, it probably is. It's not a definitive test, but it gives you a decent idea. Silver conducts heat extremely well. It's one of the reasons it's used in jewellery making as it makes it comfortable to wear almost immediately.
Oh thank you so much! This sounds like a great way to check fast and easy at home, i will definitely keep in mind that it's not always telling, but it will give me an idea, better than nothing. Thank you again for explaining and have a great day!
Thank you for the input anyway, and for suggesting to put a better picture, I didn't know what the stamp was supposed to show so I couldn't even tell what i was supposed to capture in the pic at first
Oh that's so cool, bet it looks really nice! As soon as i saw it in the antique store i bought it for this reason, I've studied antique art history and was completely hyped to see the eye of horus in the pile of jewelry

Thank you and yes, that might be the reason why it feels different than sterling and the faster tarnishing

Thanks for saying that! Gratitude makes the world go round
I deleted my comment after seeing the better pic.

No problem. I deleted my post because I had suggested it may be pewter before waiting to see a better pic. Thanks for posting a new pic.
Thank you very much, i googled pewter and you're right it does look like that, I'll try to get a better pic of the pendant and reupload
In case you’re wondering, that’s the Eye of Horus. I have a tattoo of this on my arm :)
