Sankara stone and Indy’s pyrotechnic bag from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. (Paramount, 1984) Oblong stone cast in resin and painted brown to resemble the rare stone, with three semicircular lines scored around the center. This is the static version of the Sankara Stone, and is far more widely used on-screen than the hero illuminated version, which was only used for a few special effects shots. Measures 6 in. tall and approx. 3 in. diameter. Accompanied with the torn and singed olive green canvas bag in which Indy carried the stone. The bag is a special effects bag that originally had a small pyrotechnic charge attached to it to set it alight in the film. It was used to hold the Sankara stone when Indy made his escape from the temple. Originally acquired from the film’s property master, Barry Wilkinson.

$12,000 – $15,000
