Cleopatra Earrings by Museum Reproductions

Simple and elegant earrings. Ode to Cleopatra - Egyptian Queen. She came to represent, as did no other woman of antiquity, the prototype of the romantic femme fatale.

Ancient Egypt, one of the richest and most advanced of the early civilizations, appeared on the stage of history around 3100 B.C. (Dynasty I). Hieroglyphic scripts and tomb decorations document the Egyptians' belief in the after-life, their mythology and deities. Jewellery was often worn as protective talismans. Gold was believed to reflect the life-giving rays of the sun. The colour and brilliance of gem stones traditionally determined their value and religious significance.

Materials: Pewter gold plated with aventurine and carnelian stones

Length: 1 1/2"

Comes in an original pouch inside of Folka gift box.
