Wood Carved Religious Figure

I received this wood carved figure from a friend a few years ago. The figure measures 7.5" H X 2.5" wide at it widest point (arms). She said she bought this at an antique store and that the merchant told her it was Egyptian Coptic and that it was old.  I would like to sell this piece. I realize it would sell for less than its retail value, but I would like an estimated value so that I can ask a fair price for everyone involved. I would also like to know if it is Egyptian; if not where does it come from; its age, is it Mary or a saint depicted? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
