A Draco (Sean Connery) head maquette from the production of Rob Cohen's fantasy action-adventure DragonHeart. Draco (Sean Connery), a dragon, replaced the heart of the mortally wounded Prince Einon (David Thewlis) with half of his own heart and saved his life, on the condition that the Prince promised to rule with justice and virtue; a promise that Einon did not keep. This lot comes from the collection of the film's dragon designer, visual effects artist Phil Tippett.

The detailed maquette is created from sculpting compound over a metal wire inner frame and depicts Draco mid-snarl with his mouth open and teeth bared. It is painted mostly in shades of brown with tan-white teeth and a pink tongue and gums. The head maquette is mounted on a clear acrylic column on a black-painted wooden base with a clear acrylic cover screwed into place. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from production and age, including minor scratches to the acrylic cover. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.

Dimensions: 9" x 9" x 11 1/2" (23 cm x 23 cm x 29.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
