THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982)

Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction - London - 2019

Skeksis Cane - Sold on Propstore.com, Apr 16 2020

"A cane featuring the likeness of a Skeksis, a malevolent creature from Jim Henson and Frank Oz's fantasy adventure The Dark Crystal. This cane was made by The Henson Company for a fashion show and clothing collection inspired by the film. Several artists and designers who worked on the film were involved in the making of the clothes and accessories.

The cane features the head of a Skeksis, made of resin and painted to look bronze, sitting atop a long black wooden shaft. The Skeksis is wearing a monocle with a metal chain which attaches to the collar, indicating that it is The Scroll-Keeper. There is some minor wear from age and use. The tip of the Skeksis' beak has chipped off and there are minor scratches to the wood of the shaft, while the ferrule has a small hole. Dimensions: 110 cm x 13.5 cm x 5 cm (43 1/4" x 5" x 2")"

“Once this was a beautiful face...”

“Oh hush. Such rubbish. You were NEVER beautiful.”

Skeklach and Skekok. I quite like the dynamic between these two. They are often seen together. Even though it’s more of a professional thing that they are seen near or with each other, I like to think there’s something between them. xD The scrollkeeper and the collector respectively.  Even if these two get on each other’s nerves, on some level, they are fond of each other or at least they put up with each other. They’ve known each other for many Thrine, and Skeksis can indeed form friendships of sorts. 

I squeaked at the part where Brea hugs him 😭💖
