Lot # 833 : THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982) - Skeksis Dagger Prototype - Sold on Propstore.com

"A Skeksis dagger prototype from Jim Henson's and Frank Oz's fantasy adventure film The Dark Crystal. The Skeksis concealed daggers within their robes, including SkekZok (Jerry Nelson), who stabbed Kira (Kathryn Mullen).

It features a bone-like handle with a black faux stone, a silver-colour blade, and decorative patterns engraved throughout. The dagger exhibits scuffing, paint chipping, bending, and a large crack on the tip. Dimensions: 29.25 cm x 7 cm x 4.5 cm (11.5" x 2.75" x 1.75")"
