Friedrich Gornik information doesn't seem very extensive, yet he is 'said' to be well known. Searching his name will bring up listings for other figures created by him.  This is about the most detailed information I came across (includes an example of his work)  ........

Others on the forum are more likely knowledgeable on Egyptian history and may be able to help in identifying your goddess.

Looks like your item is a depiction of the goddess Wadjet (Wedjet,Wadjit & etc. , depending on the area of the tale-teller) an old patron goddess of lower Egypt ; commonly depicted with Nekhbet (as 'sisters/dual goddesses' of upper & lower Egypt .

I think this is a modern interpretation of Egyptian goddesses, I don't think it is true to any one in particular.

The thing that troubles me about this piece is that all of the pieces I have viewed that Friedrich Gornik made (so far) have F Gornik on them (and not just his last name) and the AR Foundry Mark.

He specialized in animals and western....not to say when studying he did others....but.....
