My Egyptian Collection
I collect Egyptian figurines, dolls, jewelry - anything
Egyptian. I have devoted my bedroom to my Egyptian artifacts. Most of my
Egyptian figurines have come from the Franklin Mint, but I buy dolls whereever
I can find them. I love any Egyptian themed doll and you will find everything from resin ball jointed dolls, Barbie, porcelain dolls, vinyl dolls and plenty more. Some from catalogs, some from doll
shows, some from Museum shops. I love the elegance and mystery of the
ancient Egyptians, their Gods and Godesses and beliefs.
This display shows the vinyl Gene Daughter of the Nile at the top along with Tonner's Esme in a custom outfit. Also shown are Franklin Mint Cleopatra , Nefertiti and Selket, Danbury Mint Hepshetsut, Klimt Barbie (wearing an Egyptian print gown) Nefertootie, a googly eye doll from Home Shopping Network and a Christopher Radko mummy Christmas ornament.
Tiny resin ball jointed dolls. Egyptian cat by Dollzone of Korea is 6" tall and Pipos Fox (dressed as the Egyptian God Anubis by me) is 8" tall.
At the top we have Kish's Electra and Franklin Mint vinyl Julia the Roman Empress doll. This part of the display includes a Franklin Mint porcelain 20" Cleopatra, an 8" Madam Alexander Pandora and the Elizabet Bizelle doll in the purple gown...not really an Egyptian doll, but she fits right in here.
On the pedestal the dolls include a Maryse Nicole dark skin Cleopatra from the Franklin Mint in porcelain, Susie Egyptian Queen doll, an 8" Ginny doll and a vintage 1950's 10" hard plastic doll dressed in Egyptian style that I found at a doll show.
This corner includes some African dolls, Kamisha by Pat Loveless in porcelain, a 30" Cleopatra porcelain doll in the back, porcelain Queen of Sheba, Cissy Egypt seated and Madam Alexander Cleopatra and two 8" Gemini dark skin twins as well as the Madam Alexander Kwanza doll.
