Franklin Mint Cleopatra Hand-Painted Porcelain Figurine
This is a finely crafted, hand-painted bisque porcelain figurine depicting an ancient Egyptian noblewoman or queen, likely Cleopatra, originally produced by The Franklin Mint. The figure stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and is dressed in a pleated cream-colored gown with elaborate gilded accents. She is shown in a reflective pose, holding a golden hand mirror while adjusting her ornate beaded collar. Her attire features a heavy usage of gold leaf-style paint, particularly on the wide belt, armbands, and crown. The polychrome decoration includes vibrant blue and green tones within the broad Egyptian-style collar and sash. Her hair is rendered in a black pleated style consistent with historical Egyptian wigs. The craftsmanship shows high-quality molded details in the fabric texture and facial features. Structurally, the figurine appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or fading of the paint. While no maker's mark is visible on the bottom in this view, the style and finish are highly characteristic of Franklin Mint's historical series from the late 20th century.
