A bloodied Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from Ash vs Evil Dead. The Necronomicon, a central element of the Evil Dead films that preceded Ash vs Evil Dead, returned in the series, tempting Ash (Bruce Campbell) to keep and use it while he cut up the remains of his evil doppelganger and Amanda (Jill Marie Jones) in the Season 1 episode "Bound in Flesh." The book continued to appear throughout the rest of the series, having gained the ability to speak.
This Necronomicon, which does not open, originated from Starz. It is made of silicone-covered foam painted to resemble aged, tanned flesh with a monstrous face on the front and an ear on the back, along with details including simulated stitches in the flesh binding. The book is intentionally stained in places with blood from the butchering sequence. It exhibits some wear from use and age, including tearing in the corners. Dimensions: 28 cm x 23 cm x 6.5 cm (11" x 9" x 2.5")
Additional Provenance: Starz Certificate of Authenticity.
Estimate: £8,000 - 16,000 Ω
