Figurehead from Golden Voyage of Sinbad on sale at eBay

In the Golden Voyage of Sinbad, the evil wizard Koura brings the figurehead of Sinbad's ship to life and causes it to run amok on the ship. Above is a 14 foot statue cast in rubber from the same mold in which the original model was made, and hand painted by Ray Harryhausen. It's on sale at eBay. (And if you can afford it, I'd like to talk to you about some exciting sponsorship opportunities.) Via.
