Our expert's notes

A miniature headstone used in the production of Tim Burton’s stop-motion musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon) grows bored of the rigmarole of Halloween holidays in Halloween Town and heads to Christmas Town to find out about their holiday traditions. Kidnapping Santa (Ed Ivory) and taking his place, Jack seeks to bring Christmas to Halloween Town, not realising what disastrous events might follow.
This headstone and others like it were used for the scenes in which Jack, having survived after he is shot down riding Santa’s sleigh. Made of plaster, the headstone has been finished to appear as though it is made of worn marble topped with snow, with a dappled paint effect. The front of the headstone reads “Romanausri” and features a ringed thistle-like design with grooved embellishments at the sides. A long screw is fitted to the bottom of the piece to allow it to be securely fastened to the set for use during filming. The lettering "B3" has been written with a ball point pen on the bottom of the piece.

In a very good production-used condition with only minor wear from use on set, the headstone is presented in a stunning framed display featuring the film’s title artwork, stills from the film and an opening front panel allowing direct access to the piece.
