Amazon Seed Pouch

Sweet little seed pouch, with actual seeds inside the sealed sections. It rattles. Nicely made. Rumored to be seen on an amazon in Hooves and Harlots, but I watched the episode tonight and did not see it. There was an amazon with a pouch very similar to this one, though. Screencap of that pouch attached...I'm not convinced it is the same one, though, but....it could be. The design and size are about the same. It is around the waist of the Amazon behind Gabrielle. Thoughts on this ID? Love this prop!

Xena's Coffin Piece with Paua Shells

This is a large chunk of the lid of Xena's coffin from The Quest. It looks to be from the end side, is hard resin/foam over wood.

Dinars!


Thank you Cheri, for this lovely set of Dinars. These were found in the Dinar bag that my good pal Cheri owns, carried by Xena. Check out her props by visiting her link on the front page of my blog. Love these!

Metal Spoon


Here is a great little metal spoon colored to look aged (or perhaps it is truly brass)....with a wooden handle. Episode unknown. Given to me by my good pal Cheri. Thanks Buddy!!!

Gold "Xena" and "Horse" Dinars



A couple of sweet little resin dinars painted gold. One has a horsehead on it and the other is Xena's likeness with an "X" on the other side. Seen on the table in King Con and probably other episodes as well.

Original Card Deck from "King Con"








Surely one of the rarest props, this is the partial card deck from the episode, "King Con." The rest of the deck is owned by my good friend Cheri; we purchased it from a seller in NZ who received it (and many other props) directly from a crew member who had decided to sell off items that he had kept for mementos. These are very unique HAND MADE cards and the deck consists of roman (of course!) numeral numbered cards and the usual Jack, Queen and King. Unfortunately the Aces are missing because they were from Xena's winning hand and a crew member kept her winning hand. All the other cards appear to be here, including Titus's losing hand, of which I have three of the cards. These cards feel very unique and could be somewhat fragile so they will be displayed behind glass. The back side of each card is a semi shiny gold color, which doesn't show up that well in the pictures I took but it looks great in person. They are medium thickness and have inked designs in four items: A Sythe, a Sword, a Hand and a Fig Leaf. A beautiful addition to my prop collection!

Bamboo Tankard



Here is a lovely bamboo tankard, just under 6 inches tall. It has a leather wrapped handle and rope decorations on the top and bottom, and looks very rustic. Seen in multiple episodes of both Xena and Hercules.
