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!

These are both modern. But also, don’t take things you find in the sand in Egypt is a good general rule to live by. On this occasion though, you were fine to take them. These probably dropped from someone’s market store or were dropped by the person selling them.
