[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 146273, member: 55"]It is certainly a bust of Nefertiti, an Egyptian-style souvenir. On her crown one sees the "Uraeus" (cobra) symbolic of Egyptian royalty of that time, as on your version. Also note the similarity in the neckpiece. See [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti_Bust[/URL] for discussion and photos of the original on which this is based, now in Berlin, as Mat mentioned.
