Vapra Clan Banner Flag - Jim Henson Company 70th Anniversary Auction on Julien's Auctions, sold for $1,280 - Lot 115

"A banner flag with the emblem of the Vapra Clan of Gelflings used in the production of the prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix, 2019). 

The faded-purple flag features three hand-painted Vapra Clan emblems with eight long fringe tails on one side.

“Kira’s Song” – A tribute to gentle strength and timeless magic.

Bathed in the warm hues of three fading suns, Kira hums softly to the rhythm of a world slowly healing. Nestled among wildflowers and life in bloom, she holds her faithful companion Fizzgig close—a moment of quiet harmony captured in petals and light.

This portrait was born from my love for The Dark Crystal and the dreamlike elegance of Art Nouveau. I wanted to blend the grace of nature with the quiet power Kira embodies—a symbol of hope, connection, and courage.

I’d love to know what you see and feel in this piece.

What memories or emotions does it spark for you?

Are you a fan of The Dark Crystal, or meeting Kira and Fizzgig for the first time?
