The scrolls are one of the most favorite collectables by most collecters. Here we have two used in different episodes and if I look further they might have been used in more episodes then that. The scroll on the left is from episode ‘Here she comes, Miss Amphipolis’  the one on the right is from the episode ‘King of Assassins’ . They both have designs on one side and print on the other. They appear to be made out of some type of recycled paper or even could be made out of papyrus, each one is hand painted and are trimmed with leather where they attach to the wood dowels, they have resin shells on each end of the dowels to finish out the wonderful appearance.

‘The Golden Apple’

This is the same style apple used in episode ‘You are There’. It is made of a resin with a silk leaf on top and then painted gold. When I got this apple from New Zealand I was told they only made about 6 for the set but I have since found out these apples were also used in an episode of Hercules  but I don’t have a screencap at this time.

‘Baby Eve Stunt Double”

This is the same style doll used for stunts in season 5 episode ‘Eternal Bonds’ as baby Eve. She is anatomically correct and is made of soft latex with hard plastic eyes, she is approximately the same size as a newborn or several weeks old infant. When I first got her in, 2 arrived in the bottom of a box lot of body parts (severed heads, arms and legs) from the show and had a glue or tape residue ring around her head to hold on a cap during stunt work, her face was painted a light or pale bone color, as I was cleaning the glue ring off of her head the paint started coming off too so I just continued to clean her up since she needed a good cleaning anyway. At this point I wish I would have left her the way she was, but so much for hind sight. She is still a wonderful Xwp/Herc prop piece.

‘The Bamboo Drinking Cup’

These bamboo drinking cups were used throughout the Xena series and used by many actors in many episodes. It is made of a large piece of bamboo with a leather wrapped metal handle and grass twine wrapped around the top and bottom. The  screen cap I have for viewing is from episode ‘Animal Attraction’.

‘Assorted Set Dressing’

These are assorted set items that were used over and over again on the sets. The large bowl and assorted eggs are made of paper mache’ and are left the natural color so they would blend in the back ground scenes. The asian looking basket is made of plastic and painted a golden color to resemble rattan weaving.

‘Aphrodite’s Temple Dish’

This dish is all metal and appears silver in the picture but is actually  gold plated with a light gold coating. When I purchased this nice little clam shaped hinged dish I was told it was used in Aphrodite’s Temple scenes but I haven’t found a screen cap yet to confirm it.

‘Hand Cuffs’’

These style hand cuffs were used throughout the Xena an Hercules series. They are made of heavy resin with hinges so they can open up. They have a wire loop at the connection so you add  locks to the set. The chain is made of hard plastic and the inside of the cuffs are lined with soft leather so they won’t rub the actors/actresses wrists. A unusual and well made  item that you don’t see around too often. The screen cap for your viewing is with Gabrielle wearing a set from the episode ‘Legacy’.

‘The Aphrodite Bust’

This Aphrodite ‘Goddess of Love’ style bust was used in many episodes of Xena and Hercules, such as ‘Genies, Grecians and Geeks...Ooh My’, ‘ Love Amazon Style’, The Lost Mariner’, ‘The Quill is Mighter’ and several more. When she arrived to the states from New Zealand she had gotten busted in the shipping process. She was then taken to Hamlin Restoration and put back together like she was when she was used on the set. She is made of plaster and is filled with foam for support and then painted gold. She is a life size bust and I have been told they only made 3 for the film sets but I don’t know that for sure. She is a high quality prop and repaired very nicely. If you can tell me whether or not this is a actual face casting of Alexandria Tidings please let me know, because it sure looks like her.

‘Horsehead Checker/Chess Piece’

This wonderful little horse head game piece was used in Young Hercules series, episode ‘Battlelines 2’, they were used as game pieces on a large checker board for the gods. It is made of closed cell foam with a light resin coating and then painted. It measures about 8” tall and 2 1/2” wide.

‘Hephestus’ Fireworks/Rockets’

These realistic little rockets were used in Young Hercules episode ‘Under Siege’. Hephestus made them as fireworks for Zeus  but the Amazons took them and used them as weapons. They are made of closed cell foam covered in a light resin coating and then painted to look real. they are approximately 14” long and quite interesting set items.

‘Cactus Fruit’

This style cactus fruit was used in XWP episode ’Animal Attraction’ and was used for background scenes in this western like episode. It is about 8 1/2” long and a little bigger than a baseball. It is made of closed cell foam covered in resin and then painted to give it a realistic appearance.

‘Quill Pen and Brush’

These style quill pens and quill brushes were used throughout the Xena and Hercules series but the screen cap I have for viewing is from the episode ‘Legacy’. They are made of real feathers and brass tips, one has a pen type tip and the other has a brush type tip. I had bought a bulk lot of these but this brush tip was the only one in the lot and I haven’t seen another one since. Quite interesting and well made little props

‘Winged Hidden Door Lock’

This winged door knocker or opener is a neat looking piece. These were used as secret hidden door openers in the castle of Hercules the Legendary Journeys episode ‘The Lost City’. I have 2, they are both identical and are made of hard resin. The wing span measures approximately 9” wide and from the top of his hat to his tail it measures 7 1/2”. Quite detailed and interesting little props.

‘Animal Skins’

Animal skins were used all through the Xena and Hercules series as bed rolls, rugs, table decor, etc. The one on the left is a fully tanned calf skin rug like Xena and Gabbie used to sleep on and then roll up for Argo to carry, now whether or not this is one they actually laid on...who knows ....it measures about 5' by 4' and is very soft, it has little wax residue in the middle where it had a candle on it.  The skins on the right are rabbit fur pelts very nicely tanned, very soft, all the same color. They were used alot on the tables to add a rustic look and thrown around in seating areas for added effect. I have 5,  they all measure about 18” by 10” and all are almost identical in appearance.

‘Fruit Bowl and Stand’

Fruit bowls and fruit baskets were used on alot of the sets of Xena, Hercules, Young Hercules and Jack of all Trades, WETA workshop were masters of recycling items from one set to another. This set consists of a wicker or rattan stand with a silver plated distressed to look aged pedistal bowl, stuffed full of fruit. The apples, oranges, pears and banana are made of a light closed cell foam, lightly coated in resin and painted. The grapes are rubber and very much like what you would find in a home decor or craft store. The grouping is quite realistic and makes a good center piece for any table setting on the set .

‘Victoria Pratt Signed Antlers’

 Antlers were used in many scenes and many episodes; these have a leather piece tied to them so I believe they could have been amazon, they appear to be real naturally shed antlers and not resin/foam like so many others used in the series. They were signed TWICE by the Amazon Queen herself, Cyane, played by the lovely and talented Victoria Pratt; she signed the pair at Creation Entertainment’s Cherry Hill Xena Convention in 2001.

‘Exquisite Gold Grecian Style Pitcher/Vase’
