Cleopatra Through the Ages

Royal Beauty
In identifying this sculpture as an image of the queen, scholars point to the triple form of the uraeus, the sacred asp on the figure's headdress, a symbol of sovereignty and numerous other details. Unlike other contemporary representations of her, this sculpture portrays a woman with a small, upturned nose.
