Eli's (Denzel Washington) screen-matched hero Bible and an autographed photo from The Hughes Brothers' post-apocalyptic action film The Book of Eli. Eli carried his Bible throughout the film. The book was coveted by Carnegie (Gary Oldman), who discovered it was written entirely in braille at the end of the film. The Bible screen-matches the book in this scene through the way the edges of the pages are curled, creased and damaged. Markings on the back of the bible also match up to the autographed still.

The leather-bound Bible features a metal lock that no longer functions and its text is entirely in braille. It has been intentionally distressed to appear old and well-used.

It is accompanied by a printed still from the film, which is autographed by Washington in black pen and held in a protective sleeve. The Bible has some additional wear from production use, including dried glue on the inside of the metal clasp. Dimensions (Bible): 24.5 cm x 20 cm x 8.5 cm (9¾" x 8" x 3¼"); (photo): 29 cm x 36.5 cm (11½" x 14½")
