A Mystic's SFX enchantment bowl from Jim Henson's fantasy film The Dark Crystal. On his deathbed, Mystic Master UrSu (Brian Muehl) used his enchantment bowl to reveal to the Gelfling Jen (performed by Jim Henson, Kathryn Mullen, Kiran Shah & voiced by Stephen Garlick) his destiny of "healing" the Dark Crystal by finding the lost shard. As UrSu reveals the prophecy, an illusion of the shard and the home of Ogra materialise out of the bowl. To create this illusion for the close up shots, the shard and Ogra's home were lowered into the liquid, which filled the bowl, and then played in reverse in post production.

The Mystic's enchantment bowl is made of fibreglass, painted brown with a textured grain to imitate wood. It features spiral carvings around the exterior, three curved handles, three holes, and a thin spout protruding from the base. There are some glue remnants and areas of scuffing on the paintwork from production use and age.

Dimensions: 45 cm x 45 cm x 29 cm (17 3/4" x 17 3/4" x 11 1/2")
