A torn mirror door painting scroll from Stephen Sommers' fantasy-adventure film Van Helsing. The scroll was first handed to Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) by Cardinal Jinette (Alun Armstrong) and was later revealed to be the missing part of a map painting. Carl (David Wenham) added the piece to complete a Latin inscription on the artwork which, when read aloud, transformed the painting into a mirror doorway leading to Dracula's (Richard Roxburgh) lair.

The torn paper piece displays an intentionally aged appearance with a wax-like finish, and is decorated with hand-painted Latin text and Dracula's insignia. A metal dragon emblem is adhered to the right edge of the paper, visible when the paper is rolled within its ornate metal casing. The paper unravels from its casing when the two ends are twisted anti-clockwise. There are signs of tarnishing on the metal, with light creasing and minor paint wear on the paper. This lot is fragile and should be handled with care. Dimensions (unrolled): 31 cm x 44 cm x 4.5 cm (12 1/4" x 17 1/4" x 1 3/4")
