It has a very nice sculpt, though it is well travelled. I have seen this sculpt before, and usually it comes with a story like "This is cast from the original" or "I sculpted this myself". Amazing, as I see this sculpt all over the place. That aside, I think it's a great little piece. The detail is very crisp, though there is some loss of quality around the edge of the knot pattern that surrounds the piece.
I made the center crystal myself using two little plastic crystals from Michaels. I sanded off the silver backing that was originally on them, and glued them together using five minute epoxy. I like the clear crystal much more than the ones with the mirror surface in the middle. I think it makes it look a lot more like the metal one that I have.
The paint job on this is pretty cool, though the pictures don't do it justice. I think the maker used a couple different types of gold paint on it to get it to look funky. I'm very happy with this piece, and I think it's a great addition to the collection, as it shows another interpretation of a very memorable movie prop.
