Cleopatra Headpiece

Description

The biggest problem with ruling over a country isn’t the constant threat of betrayal and almost certain early death by assassination—often including truly unusual ways of bringing it about. We admit that dealing with murder plots isn’t a great aspect of the job description, but it at least makes for an eternal story for your subjects and enthusiasts hundreds of years later. The real trouble is the weight of those insane crowns! The divine clerics always insist on bulky gold and the thing gets bigger every generation! There must be a more elegant way to rule…

Well, there is and Cleopatra is, naturally, the one to have shown us that path. Sleek and beautiful, cunning and lithe. We’re not just describing the Queen of the Nile—we’re talking about the cascading gold-colored beaded headpiece that marks her authority. The woman might have made a couple poor choices in who to trust, but none can deny the perfect aesthetic grace that her choice of crown commanded. Slide with ease into both this amazing headpiece as well as the rulership of Egypt. (Just watch out for serpents.)
