Headpiece of the Staff of Ra

"Make the staff six kadams high..."
Here's something from last year that I forgot to post about until after it got put away with the Christmas decorations. It's a pretty simple resin kit that I got off eBay. Being a prop replica, it's 1:1 scale, and it consists of three parts: the headpiece itself and two gems. The work involved gold leafing it (after applying a coat of gold paint just in case), then some light weathering before gluing in the gems. My wife Ilene is a big fan of the movie, so I gave it to her for Christmas, expecting that she would use it as a tree ornament.

"...and take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose ark this is."
