As for the shabti you linked to, I'm afraid I am not qualified to assess its authenticity. Another poster might be able to help you with that though.

Beware of antiquities dealers, especially if they don't own a store or are otherwise not stable.
quote:If you happen upon someone calling himself an art or antiquities dealer and he is selling artwork out of his car or home or online you should be very reluctant to move forward with this person. In fact chances are that you are about to get scammed. Whoever you meet should offer you their license as well as a detailed history of the piece of art that you were looking to purchase. In the case of Egyptian artifacts, they must each have a clear chain of ownership that is complete and that leads directly to the hands of the person selling it.
If the person you are talking with cannot produce this paperwork, chances are you are not purchasing an authentic article.
30 years ago I bought a Shekel of Tyre, to use as a wedding coin, from Sadigh in NYC. Was it really authentic? Maybe, maybe not. Sadigh gives certificate of authenticity. But even museums sometimes can't tell. Sadigh will buy back
