A light-up "Pup" scanner ball from Ridley Scott's sci-fi prequel Prometheus. This comes from the personal collection of the film's set decorator Sonja Klaus. After the spacecraft Prometheus landed on a distant planet, Fifield (Sean Harris), the expedition's geologist, used his floating scanner balls, referred to as "pups", to explore the submerged Engineer vessel and create a holographic map of its tunnels and rooms. The ball features a resin outer shell, painted and textured to resemble metallic mesh. The ball is predominantly made of translucent acrylic and can be twisted along its equator to make it light up with a red glow. There is some wear from production use, including scuffs, scratches and a couple of small marks in the resin. There is also a minor crack in one of the resin panels. Dimensions: 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm (3 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 3 3/4")£2000-3000 M *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide

The folded, printed map shows side and top views of the submarine's layout. Made of resin, the backup model submarine is a miniature of Dr Evil lying on his stomach in his trademark finger pose finished in faux-silver paint.

A Staff of Ra headpiece from Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. This piece comes from the personal collection of legendary producer Robert Watts. Thought to be a simple medallion by its owner, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), it became a major plot device when she and Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) attempted to thwart the Nazis' attempts to locate the legendary Ark of the Covenant. Indy used it in the Map Room at Tanis to reveal the location of the Well of Souls, the resting place of the Ark. This headpiece was cast from the original moulds during production to create a special gift for Watts. The headpiece is made of cast metal, finished in faux-gold paint, and features plastic crystal €ËÅ“eyes'. It is mounted on a custom-made wooden display. This piece shows few signs of wear, with just some light tarnishing to the metal. Dimensions (displayed): 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm x 18 cm (2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 7 1/4")£4000-6000 M
