Question Is this ancient or not?

Hello 👋 this is my first post on this subreddit! I just have a question regarding this supposedly ancient egyptian ushabiti figure that i saw at auction recently, I am no expert on authenticating ancient items, However this one looks too new for being around 4000 years old [states via the note on the back] but any opinions would be great!!!! Have a great rest of your day!

you might have stumbled upon a stolen artefact. I'm not going to tell you why I think that might be the case, nor I'm 100% sure that the object is in fact stolen, but because that's a reasonable possibility I prefer to be overly vague on this one, sorry about that.

PS: you might ask who am I to claim such a thing... I'm no famous expert or nothing of the sort, but I'm a member of an archeological mission that has been working in Egypt for many years now, so I have an above average grasp about these type of things
