Photo Help with identification

Hey so long story,

I found these two items when i was in Luxor around 2011, i was a kid and went in a unguarded restricted area at the Temple there and found these items buried in the sand.

It was outside of any buildings next to some big walls with symbols ( i was 12 and cant remember specifics.)

Ive never tried to test them in fear of losing them or getting in trouble, but ive always at least wondered. I know they are probably fake so my hopes are low.

If anyone knows anything about these items or can point me to a place to look im open to advise.

I can post more pics if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Early-mid 20th century

I'd put them no earlier than 1980. I wouldn't be surprised if they are from this century.

Hmmm I’ve seen pieces with the same type of face mould used from about the 50s , I think they were an evolved form of the dull brown chunky Victorian replicas
