Our expert's notes

A hand-drawn concept image of the sword belonging to Conan's father (William Smith) from John Milius' fantasy epic Conan the Barbarian. This artwork was created by artist Ron Cobb, who served as production designer for the film, and shows the sword wielded by Conan's unnamed father. The sword served as an important plot device throughout the film, as Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sought revenge against Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), who took the sword after razing Conan's village.

The detailed image is executed in coloured pencil and ink over an original production dyeline and shows the sword's elaborate engraved runes and skull guard design. Created in 1:1 scale, the dimensions for the sword are marked along the right side of the blade. The piece is signed by Cobb in red and dated 1981, and is presented in a framed display. Dimensions (framed): 3.5 cm x 60.5 cm x 135 cm (1 ½" x 23 ¾" x 53 ¼")
