Jareth's (David Bowie) crystal ball, autographed photos, a collection of tickets and a card from the production of Jim Henson's fantasy film Labyrinth. Crystal balls were used by the Goblin King throughout the film, their mystical powers allowing him to change form and conjure illusions. Jareth twirled crystal balls in his hands as he attempted to distract Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) from rescuing her baby brother Toby (Toby Froud). These complex flourishes were achieved by contact juggler Michael Moschen, who had to kneel behind Bowie and perform blind.

This crystal ball was obtained after filming by a senior crew member. Made of transparent resin, it comes with a ring-shaped holder. The lot is accompanied by a promotional still of David Bowie autographed in green ink; a still of Connelly in the role of Sarah, autographed in gold-coloured ink; one screening ticket featuring director Jim Henson's autograph on the back; a signed "Season's Greetings" card; and three wrap party tickets. The crystal ball displays minor scuffs from production use, and the photographs exhibit light scratching. Dimensions (ball, displayed): 8 cm x 8 cm x 10 cm (3 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 4"); (larger still): 20.5 cm x 25.5 cm (8" x 10")

Estimate: £10,000 - 15,000 M
