This is what I found. Also doing a search in google.com for images can get you some images.

Good find, the image comes from Charles Sturt University, I wonder what the context of the image is.

I am quite sure the question is about the famous Cleopatra, Cleopatra VII, last Pharaoh of Egypt. That is not her sarcophagus. That seems to be a photo from a London museum, although I don't know exactly of what. Cleopatra VII's burial site has never been found.

Found it! The British Museum site says "An inscription on her coffin states that this Cleopatra was the daughter of an important official at Thebes at the time of the Emperor Trajan (reigned AD 98-117). She died some 150 years after her famous namesake, Cleopatra VII"

I still don't know how to insert images, so here are just some urls:

Alternatively, for more image results for 'Cleopatra's sarcophagus', you could type it into Google Images.

Your question needs more detail. However, I am quite sure your question is about the famous Cleopatra, Cleopatra VII, last Pharaoh of Egypt. Cleopatra VII's burial site has never been found. If she has a sarcophagus, no one knows what it looks like yet.

The sarcophagus shown in another answer is not hers. It is a photo of a sarcophagus in the British Museum in London, but it is not Cleopatra's.

She committed suicide after her lover Antony was defeated by Octavian who thereby conquered Egypt for the Roman Empire. She did not get the state funeral that a Ptolemy would normally get. Her body may have been carried away and buried by her priestesses. There is an expedition with high hopes currently excavating. However, people have searched before. Note the claims debunked in the NY Times in 1909.

This question, like many others, requires more than a quick google of the key words to create a legitimate answer.

No offense, but if I could see her, I wouldn't be much interested in any sarcofagus, I'd go straight for the steak and potatoes! Hope this is helpful!
