In Modern Egypt, some people sell fake artifacts to tourists. These artifakes end up on some distribution network (like Sadigh Gallery "Ancient" Art, according to speculation and evidence of real Archaeologists who examined their items) and the proceeds go back to these Egyptian sellers.
This item cost me $800 and is not authentic from Egypt. It is too cheaply designed to be ancient, though produced on real or composite stone.
Ushabtis are made of Faience -- a greenish blue ceramic paste. This one is brown colored "Faience." It may be made of Nile Mud according to a Minerva Magazine article.
An Egyptian wooden headrest (pillow stand).
A "Third Intermediate Period Kohl Jar" of black stone with carved interior.
A "honey bee in amber, red Carnelian scarab, a Neolithic Flint projectile point, and a ring with an Alexander the Great coin.."
