Egyptian figure??

Can anyone throw some light on this please , unearthed in a box bought recently thank you , stone , heavy ,

 

It's really hard to see what you have from your photographs. Is it a nude reclining figure wearing an Egyptian headdress? If so it's not going to be authentically Egyptian but it might be Egyptian revival. Depending on size, it could be a paperweight.

I threw some light on it for you.

 

Thank you. I added a flop and a crop. Carved nude figure in Egyptian headdress reclining on scrab with hieroglyphic bottom. Still no size but likely 1920s-1930s following Howard Carter's discovery.

Thank you all so very much I will add size ASAP once my brother gives me a call as I passed it onto him , but think I may ask for it back ,, I was not keen on the beetle theme ha ha

 

I agree, an older souvenir piece and well made.

Does that look carved to everyone? To my eye, looks cast.

Hm. Yes it does. I wonder if it's actually glass.

 

Reclining on a SCARAB ..... I would not want to recline on a scrab: you might get pinched hard !

Glass. That makes more sense.

There was a lot of Egyptian Revival moulded glass made in Bohemia, now I think.
