His breastplate: Due to the display's lighting, the translucent quality of the jewels aren't apparent in this photo. Here, they look like opaque, solid rocks. (Compare it to the photo in the "Lucasfilm Archives" book and you'll see the difference.)
Did you get a close look? The top stone looks like something from Jurassic Park...

Quite right & good eye, WilliamBoyd! Compare Belloq's headwear as well. It's quite close to the image you posted. See below...WilliamBoyd8 said:Belloq's ceremonial outfit looks to me to be similar to this one
worn by Byzantine Emperor John on the left:
Hagia Sophia Church, Istanbul, John and Irene Mosaic, around AD 1122
(I was supposed to be going to Istanbul this coming weekend but things didn't work out.
)
Yeah, in the photo from the "Lucasfilm Archives" book, the top middle stone looks like a large piece of amber* but the one at the exhibit didn't appear that way. Plus, the differences in the other stones seem to indicate that there were (at least) 2 different props for Belloq's breastplate...but I could be wrong.Moedred said:
*During the early '90s, I saw the largest piece of amber (at that time) in a museum in the Dominican Republic. It was, roughly, about the size of 2 baseballs.

Does anyone who was fortunate enough to attend have any hi-res pics of the miniature hero and/or Thuggee puppets in their cart? Seems like every book, magazine or website shows them in shadow, too small, or only up to the waist, ( would like to see from head toe, even if not from exhibit).
Thanks.
Thanks.

TheRaider.net? What's that?
Cool to see the next venue revealed. This should make many California-based Raveners very happy.
Also posted this in the Travelling Indy thread, as Travelling Indy will voyage to California at pretty much the same time the exhibition is bound to open.
Meanwhile, my time to see it in Valencia is ticking away, and it seems I won't make it there in time before it closes in September

That's a surprising scoop because the official website for the exhibit doesn't have this information yet.Attila the Professor said:
I was under the impression that any U.S. cities would've been added after it's planned world tour was over rather being shoehorned in as early as the 3rd stop. This is nice news for fans in the California area but I hope the world tour continues immediately after L.A.

Hey, Stefan. If I'm correct, you must be that south shore Montreal guy who hangs out at the Indy Lounge forum. Nice to see you here at The Raven. Bienvenue!Stefan Jones said:
Unfortunately, my photo of the pins on Mutt's jacket turned out extremely poor so it probably won't help identify anything.
Palaceslave, I snapped a number of good photos of the miniatures during my 1st visit but that camera was stolen soon after.Palaceslave_82 said:
There was only 1 display of miniatures so there were no Thuggee puppets at the exhibit. Below is what I took with my crappy, iPhone3 on my 2nd visit. Not great but it's all I have to show. (The bottom image is cropped from the same photo at full resolution):
