Here are the essential points for assessment:
1. Material and manufacture
Material: The figure consists of light alabaster (or white/beige-colored plaster/marble substitute).
Age and authenticity
Modern souvenir work / replica: It is very likely a modern Egyptian souvenir (usually produced in workshops in Luxor or Cairo from alabaster).
Use / function: A very beautiful decorative object for lovers of Egyptian mythology or as a souvenir from an Egypt trip.

Diese Figur stellt den ägyptischen Gott Horus in seiner klassischen Falkengestalt dar, der die Doppelkrone von Ober- und Unterägypten (Pschent) trägt. Auf der Brust ist zudem ein Skarabäus (Symbol für Wiedergeburt und die aufgehende Sonne) eingearbeitet.

1. Material und Herstellung
Material: Die Figur besteht aus hellem Alabaster (oder weißem/beigefarbenem Gips/Marmor-Ersatzstoff).
Alter und Authentizität
Moderne Souvenirarbeit / Replika: Es handelt sich sehr wahrscheinlich um ein modernes ägyptisches Souvenir (meist in Werkstätten in Luxor oder Kairo aus Alabaster gefertigt).
Gebrauch / Funktion: Sehr schönes Dekorationsobjekt für Liebhaber der ägyptischen Mythologie oder als Mitbringsel aus einer Ägyptenreise.
