Holy Grail - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Sign In to see what this sold for

916. The Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. (Paramount, 1989) The Holy Grail, made of fiberglass/resin and painted to resemble earthenware or terracotta, heavily weathered, with very bright gold leaf paint on the inside surface. In the final sequence of the film, Indy uses it to save his father, Henry Jones, Sr. (played by Sean Connery) via its "Divine healing properties." Made of very strong fiberglass/resin, the prop was so designed to withstand the tumble down into the chasm that opened up beneath the Great Seal on the floor of the Grail Temple in the film. An icon of the film and the key plot device, this wonderful artifact is an important and instantly recognizable piece of Hollywood history. It measures approx. 5 ½ in. tall. Originally acquired from Paul Robins, the prop maker who made this piece for the production. This cup has had some repair due to production use. $20000 - $25000
