Matted Cult of Set shield concept illustrations hand-drawn by production designer Ron Cobb for the production of John Milius' Conan the Barbarian. Thulsa Doom's (James Earl Jones) guards carried shields that bore the crest of the Cult of Set.

Among the most revered artists in cinema history, Ron Cobb contributed conceptual and production designs for landmark films such as Star Wars, Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Back to the Future. His designs for Conan, which in addition to many of Thulsa Doom's icons included Conan the Barbarian's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sword, became emblems of 1980s popular culture.

These four concept illustrations for the cavalry, archer, foot soldier, and officer's snake shields are rendered in mixed media on a sheet of green matte-framed illustration paper labeled "Shields of the Horde" by Cobb. The paper and frame exhibit smudging and stains along their borders. Dimensions: 22" x 24" (56 cm x 61 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
