Cleopatra?



Busk of Levatine woman reputed to be Cleopatra in her youth.  50-25 BCE

Reconstruction of Face by composite imaging on Photoshop.  I used Egyptian faces and middle eastern faces in an attempt to give it a more realistic look. There has been no scientific or archaeological consultation.  This was simply a matter of the faces that fit.  The image should be taken as such.  I like to think it looks more like this woman than the 2000 year old block.  Positive constructive criticism welcome.



"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies." William Shakespeare.
