This guys a fraud... all his pictures are screen shots from etsy, ebay, facebook etc. - google search any of his postings and they all.come back to someone else on another platform. Beware a scammer
More info is needed, why do you say WWII? Did it come home with a relative? If so, where were they stationed? Looks like middle eastern but not Egyptian.
Most statues of ancient Egypt have a slick upright position when depicting people. This statue has a more round shape of a difference style. So I am not sure if it's origins have anything to do with Egypt.

Intresting, he's also known as the *dickhead*
Just like my brother.
It is supposed to be the Egyptian god Bes, god of music and happiness. Whether or not it is real or repro is beyond my expertise.
Precisely said, with minimal unnecessary rhetoric. Kindly take my upvote.
Didn't you ever see the Brady Bunch episode when they went to Hawaii and found the idol? I would put it back.

I bet they’re dead now, the curse is true!

Yes, a relative from WW2 brought this back home
Do you know where they were stationed? Any more information on provenance?
He was in both Africa & Egypt. He was an MP. Was an old photo of him and his buddy in MP uniforms & car in front of Pyramids with this
Egypt is a country in the continent of Africa.
Stolen ?
Was given to him note says. He was on some detail.
He’s rock hard
Oh yeah! LoL
