A Draco (Sean Connery) large winged maquette from 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 andsaved 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 made of foam-filled resin. The piece is crafted with intricate textures and paint details on the right side and has a smooth surface and a flat orange-brown finish along the left. The right wing is folded neatly in a resting position on the back of the maquette, while the left wing, which is fully extended and spread, is separate but can plug into place on the main body. The maquette is attached to a black wooden display base with a frame on one side housing horizontal lights that point down at the figure. The piece comes in a case created by Tippett Studio including a clear acrylic cover and a power cord for the lights. The lot is in good overall condition with some wear from handling and age, including a missing thumb and paint flaking. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.
