I can help you with this one. The woman with the curled hairdo and rather large ears in the second row out from the center is the Egyptian goddess Hathor (Pronounced Hat-hor) She is shown in her earliest form as a cow, which was a mother figure to the ancients. That is why she has big ears. She is primarily the goddess of love and beauty. If you look up the Temple of Hathor in Dendera Egypt, you'll see very similar motifs of Hathor at the top of some enormous pillars. Hathor was a popular ancient goddess and her image is on lots of tourist items.
On the outer row, the bird man is Horus. Horus is a falcon-headed god. He is one of the primary deities in ancient Egypt. He is the son of Osiris and had his eye plucked out during a battle with Set, the god of evil. He too was very popular among the ancients and you'll see him on almost every ancient structure in Egypt. Frequently you'll see his eye painted on boats and taxis even today, for good luck. It's an ancient tradition dating back thousands of years.
The person with Horus is holding an Ankh, the symbol of life. He's a prominent person in society who has died and he is being led to meet Anubis, the jackel-headed god who is holding the scales. The man's heart is going to be weighed upon the scale against a feather of truth. If his heart is light, he will be allowed to go into paradise. These motifs are from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which is carved into the walls of tombs and is used as an instruction manual to help the dead through the afterlife. Again, it's a common tourist theme. Under the scales is a god who is part hippo part crocodile part lioness known as "the devourer" he has another name I'll have to check on. He will eat the heart if it is heavy and the man doesn't make it into paradise.
The flowers between the two rows of figures are lotus flowers, another very common motif in ancient Egyptian design. You usually see them in profile, like the smaller ones are shown, not open from the center like the larger ones, which is interesting. A little bit of a departure from tradition there. These are in the center also, around the star figure.
It depends where you are in the world as to what it's value is. It is most definitely an item made for the tourist trade and brought over. Generally, tourist items purchased in Egypt sell for more in the west than they do in Egypt where they can be bought relatively inexpensively. For example, I bought an inlaid mother of pearl and onyx drum for $30 and I see them selling here for $300 in retail stores. So there can be a big mark-up.
The most likely place this would have come from is the Khan il Kahlili Bazaar, which is in Cairo and has a large brass market. It is not the only place you can get this kind of thing though. They can be sold all over the country at tourist destinations. The wooden carved legs are very commonly found too, there are some beautiful detailed carvings that come from Egypt. These are commonly seen in window and balcony screens. It is an old Islamic tradition, allowing women privacy in their homes.
