Sourced directly in Cairo’s historic Khan Khalili and hand-carried to the United States, this hand-carved black basalt stone head is inspired by Queen Cleopatra VII—showcasing a rounded braided wig, central uraeus cobra, and refined feminine features characteristic of the Ptolemaic era.
Approx. 2.5 in tall × 2.5 in wide; weight ~1 lb 3.3 oz. The dense feel, subtle natural pores, and smooth polish are consistent with genuine volcanic basalt (not resin). A small Arabic workshop mark on the crown confirms modern Egyptian artisan origin.
