A Staff of Ra headpiece crew gift from Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Thought to be merely a simple medallion by Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), the Staff of Ra became a major plot device when Marion and Indy (Harrison Ford) attempted to thwart the Nazis' attempts to locate the legendary Ark of the Covenant. Indy used the Staff in the Map Room at Tanis to reveal the location of the Well of Souls.

This headpiece was cast from the original production molds to create a special gift for legendary producer Robert Watts, from whose collection the lot originated. The headpiece is made of cast metal, finished in gold-color paint, and inset with plastic faux gemstone "eyes." It comes mounted on a custom-made wooden display with minor tarnishing to the metal from age and exposure. Dimensions (displayed): 2.5" x 2.5" x 7.25" (6.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 18 cm)

Estimate: $7,000 - 10,000
