While not technically a bathing beauty, Mr. #474 is a scarce and splendid sultan from a series of harem figurines by William Goebel. At one point, this 4.25 bisque pasha had harem pants and a vest of silk, but now all he retains is his original turban to cover his bald pate. The dull gold turban matches his molded slippers with the up-turned toes, and he also wears a molded loincloth with painted "jewels." His rather sleepy expression as he puffs away on his pipe makes one wonder just what he is supposed to be smoking! There are no marks.
Also from the same Goebel seraglio series is this very scarce Nubian serving boy. Wearing his original brocade turban, hoop earrings, and (sadly shredding) blue silk harem pants, this dark-skinned bisque boy is 4.25 inches tall. He has molded white baggy harem pants under his silk ones and large molded slippers with curled toes. A little silk pillow is balanced in his upturned hands. There are no visible marks.
