The Mondoshawans exited their ship and entered an ancient Egyptian temple at the beginning of the film. This maquette was constructed by the art department as a design concept model for the alien ship. It features an array of steampunk-style fiberglass, resin, and metal components hand-painted to appear mechanical and affixed with clear acrylic tubes for handling and display. The maquette is in good overall condition with paint scuffing and several loose components that have broken off since production. Dimensions: 33" x 12" x 9" (84 cm x 30.5 cm x 23 cm) Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000
