A Thuggee guard sword from Steven Spielberg's action-adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Mola Ram's (Amrish Puri) Kali-worshiping cultists carried their swords throughout the film, notably when they trapped Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) on a rickety rope bridge.

The metal sword features a fiberglass pommel and resin blade. The ornate grip is cast to resemble a snarling tiger's head and the blade has an aluminum coating to appear metallic. The sword is finished in shades of silvertone and a dull gray to depict metal alloy materials. The sword displays signs of wear, such as cracking in the blade wrapping from age, but it remains in good overall condition. Dimensions: 33" x 3 1/2" x 1" (83 cm x 9 cm x 2.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
