Found a possible ancient Egyptian ushabti fragment in Cyprus. Can anyone help identify it?

This fragment was reportedly found near Apostolos Andreas Monastery in the Karpaz Peninsula, Cyprus.

It appears to be the head and upper body of an ushabti. Given Cyprus’s historical connections with ancient Egypt, I’m curious about its possible age and origin.

Does anyone recognize the style or material? Could it be authentic, and what period might it belong to?

Any insights would be appreciated!

Meidum Pyramid and Mastaba

Meidum Pyramid and Mastaba

The Meidum Pyramid. This was built by the same architect (we think) as the Bent and Red pyramids at Dahshur but collapsed during construction leaving only the inner core. After clamouring up and down, to its burial chamber we visited the other structures in the complex and we wriggled and shimmed through the tombs, squeezing down a vertical ladder and under a rock into a buriel chamber. Exhausting and dusty but lots of fun!
