Does it come in a plastic zip bag? If so mine is a small aluminium square; the front has leaves and the back has what appear to be the letters D Y N.
My "Bookhounds of London" is inscribed 'ABOMINATION'. There are no letters on the back of my square talisman? "US' is written on the front of the manila envelope in pencil. Inside there is tourist souvenir from Pompei of 32 black and white photos on a long fold-out. A chapbook entitled, "Man in the Making; An Introduction to Anthropology" by R. R. Marett.There are two uninscribed postcards, one is a Christmas card image of a horse-drawn wagon bearing a man and sticks down a snowy road, apparently named, "Wonderful White Winter", and the other is a photo of six people standing in front of a brick building, and there is no description on the back, only the usual marking of where to put the address, communication, and stamp. There is an undecipherable pencil mark, which I interpret to be a price.
The 5-leafed sprig does seem to share a topology with the elder sign from Lovecraft's letters.
I have an Atlas of the world; part of a map of london from westminster down to clapham with strange circular patterns cut out of it; a receipt for dyeing silk from the Longfield Dyeworks dated Apr 8th 1932 and some coins: a 1916 british penny, a 1946 ha'penny, a 1925 Austrian 10 Groshen, a 1930 Austrian 2 Groshen, a 1926 british penny, a 1930 farthing and a coin I am unable to identify.
My secret word is INEXPLICABLE.
Here's the map with the cutouts:

@dougwinter "A 1946 ha'penny"?
Oops!
I mean, "A coin from the future? What can that signify?"

I wonder if the little "badge" I have (written upon a map background) would fit in one of those holes...?Here's the map with the cutouts:
Certainly looks like it...
Your satchel looks very angry indeed.
