I have had this for about 3 years now and I couldn't even tell you what it is made of, looks marble or some sort of granite/stone but isn't, neither is it resin, wood or apparently pottery. Might just be a piece of giftware from Egypt.frankly I haven't a clue but it is definitely bothering me

It looks like a reproduction of an Anubis canopic jar. Maybe egyptian touristware...

I think it is a piece of Raku Pottery, does it feel like Earthenware? (Earthenware is lighter than Stoneware/Porcelain and has a more chalk like feel to it)

I don't know who made it tho sorry.

it is actually quite heavy and solid for it's size which is why I am stumped in knowing what it is made of........although I did think of tourist stuff too
