Barbie: Great Eras Collection 2-Doll Lot #2 Egyptian Queen & Grecian Goddess /1993-1997 – (NRFB)

Description

NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. This 2-doll lot is sold together as a set, with each doll NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION, showing minor wear/imperfections on box edges and corners typical for age and normal handling, unless otherwise individually specified. Dolls have typical 90’s “superstar” generic Barbie faces with large eyes, rooted lashes, and open smiles – with the exception of the Chinese Empress doll that has a modified “Kira” closed-mouth face. Bodies have the typical twist waist, straight-arms with angular shoulder movement, hips with straight back and forth movement, click-bend knees, and high-heel feet.

The “GREAT ERAS” series illustrates a variety of historically recognized fashion styles from select cultures or time frames. Each of the 10 dolls is complete with clothing representative of the selected era, with shoes and accessories as shown, plus a saddle stand with plastic round base inside the box. Each individualized storybook-type retail display/presentation box has a hinged solid front cover with Velcro-type closure. The inside covers are elaborately illustrated with historical summaries of the depicted fashion eras.

ITEMS INCLUDED IN THIS LOT #2:

1. Egyptian Queen (1994 / 11397 / 074299113970) – From 3,000 to 5,000 years ago, the 18th Dynasty during the time of King Tut is considered the Golden Age of Egypt, just a distant memory now, as evidenced by the Pyramids of Giza guarded by the Sphinx. Egyptian Queen Barbie represents that era with an elaborate bejeweled headdress sporting layered shaped pieces, a broad layered and beaded/jeweled “wesekh” or “usekh” collar typically depicted as being worn by both men and women, as well as deities. Gossamer blue material is gathered and draped strategically over her chest to coordinate with a blue and silver patterned skirt. (Box has a few minor stress creases on the front cover and some edge/corner wear but displays well.)
2. Grecian Goddess (1996 / 15005 / 074299150050) – 5th Century BC in Greece marked a golden age of culture, art, and philosophy that also included everyday acknowledgement of the mythical gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. Despite the incongruity of a blonde Barbie representing the goddess Athena, she wears what is presumably typical goddess attire for the region and time period – a flowing pleated white layered gown secured at the shoulders and embellished with an assortment of metallic decorations, topped off by an orchid cape trimmed with a stereotypical geometric Greek design. (Box has some minor creases/dents in back but otherwise is in good shape.)
