“Cleopatra “
Inspiration & Technique
I decided to use 23 k gold gilding on her and her headdress. I went back and forth on how to finish her and it hit me to make her like they made the Ancient Egypt sarcophagus’s since The pharaohs of Egypt believed gold was the “flesh of the gods”. The pendant is carved labradorite and a symbol for Mark Anthony. Snakes, flowers and other symbols are everywhere as there is much debate on whether she killed herself by poisons from plants or venom from a snake.
