Though I am not a believer in the authenticity of the art pieces in the M.A. Mansoor Amarna collection I do feel that Mr. M.A. Mansoor was a well respected antiques dealer. The link is from the Mansoor Collection about the Amarna princess which the family gave to the Louvre.
The museum a number of years ago removed the statuette from display when after a scientific review agreed the princess was a fake. This does not please the family and it has been requested to be returned to them, unfortunately even if it is a fake the Louvre is not obliged to display or return the statuette.
