Harry Potter Shield
From 2001's 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,' this is one of the prop shields used during the climactic Wizard's chess game scene.

There were two sets of pawns, one black and one white. This shield is off the back of one of the black pawns on the big chess board. All the pawns were the same. The white and black shields were affixed to the back of the common pawns.

The shield is made from what appears to be clay, plaster or a resin compound and has been painted white with reddish highlights. There is no handle, as the shield appears stationary in the background. (measures approx. 35"x 28") Oversized item. Additional Postage Required.

Comes with a letter of provenance stating the item is part of a single owner collection of Harry Potter props and memorabilia since 2003. Acquired from a movie prop dealer who obtained this item from an employee of Leavesden Studio or an acquaintance of that employee. Most Sorcerer' Stone props were discarded by the studio. Knowing their value, employees and others recovered the disposed of props. Since the props were disposed of and subsequently retrieved, almost no movie props from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone have a Certificate of Authenticity besides the few items donated to charities.
