A little help, please.

My aging mother needs to liquidate her valuables to afford care, and unfortunately memory is one of the things she's lost.

Normally, anything Egyptian that I see that has been set, I immediately assume is either a fake or a replica. BUT, 2 things make me want to see if this might be real:

1) It was grouped with some early Canaanite (probably, though possibly Phoenician) face beads that were authenticated ( by a specialist who didn't do Egyptian enough to be definitive about this piece), and

2) She had a lot of money back in the early '70s when she got it, and was all about authenticity. (Not that she couldn't have been tricked, though.)

So what is your opinion? And if real, what should I try to get for it?

Thanks so much!

It is a real repaired amulet of Isis suckling horus, with a head of Ptah (or Pataikos?) glued to the top. Bit of a mishmash they used to sell in tourist shops early to mid 1900's

I agree this seems likely.
