A large prop statue of a pharaoh, most likely King Tut, possibly used in the 1963 20th Century Fox classic Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Appearing to be or is similar to a piece of set dressing used in several scenes throughout the film, most notably when Mark Antony is dying and Cleopatra hides from Caesar in her tomb. Hollow statue is constructed from fiberglass and other materials, stands almost eight feet tall and stands atop a 20 x 27.5 rectangular base. It is also possibly a piece of decor from the Sands Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where their Epic Buffet was decorated with props from Rome's famous Cinecitta Studios. Statue has been restored and repainted, and is in fine condition, with expected scattered light wear and some chipping to front of base. RR Auction COA.
