with the Beany Baby above, this item was not

The Hanford/Trivette
Cleopatra
1994
Featured
in the May 1995 issue of "Dolls" magazine, this one-of-a-kind sculpture
by Clark Hanford
was
commissioned and designed by Mr. Trivette. Made of hydrostone, with a seated
measurement
of
22", the sculpture is dressed in a gown of cream georgette and liquid gold,
with jewelry of Austrian
crystals,
pearls, and gold beads, handmade by the designer. The object in which the
head is centered,
is
the mirror from Cleopatra's dressing table, a prop from Taylor's, "Cleopatra".
