A set of seven Draco (Sean Connery) maquettes from the production of Rob Cohen's fantasy action-adventure DragonHeart. Draco (Sean Connery), a dragon, replaced the heart of the mortally wounded Prince Einon (David Thewlis) with half of his own heart. The actions aved his life, but with the condition that the Prince promised to rule with justice and virtue; a promise that Einon did not keep. This lot comes from the collection of the film's dragon designer, visual effects artist Phil Tippett.

The seven detailed maquettes are constructed of hardened clay over wire skeletons and rest on simple wooden bases. Four portray Draco lying on his side or stomach in conversation, in various sizes, one of just his arms, and two of his right eye and the surrounding area. The eyes are glass with brown-orange irises; one has a narrow, reptilian pupil, while the other has a rounded pupil. The lot is in good overall condition with some wear from handling and age, including dust buildup and some of the smaller pieces (such as horns or claws) being broken off. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.
