    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.

    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.

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

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

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