This model reclines more than the marble, and the snake bracelet on the left arm of the original, has been transformed into the asp which killed Cleopatra. The figure is accompanied by a reclining Mark Anthony wearing a lustred cuirass (C.909-1928), which suggests a date for both of c. 1810-20, although he is not a true pair with Cleopatra.referenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIreferenceterm-108171adlib-term-108171c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionBurslemwhitereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazeHeightcm21.6Widthcm33referencemedia-195465adlib-media-195465754408ac-d2d6-354b-bd9a-daa05919f7f5jpegaa/aa32/C_908_1928_1_201505_jas244_dc2.jpg1heightpixels683widthpixels102416162610256911imagejpegaa/aa32/mid_C_908_1928_1_201505_jas244_dc2.jpg1heightpixels333widthpixels49916162610256911imagejpegaa/aa32/C_908_1928_1_201505_jas244_dc2.jpg1heightpixels683widthpixels102416162610256911imagejpegaa/aa32/preview_C_908_1928_1_201505_jas244_dc2.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25016162610256911image0media
