SkekEkt

Here is another highlight from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences exhibit "It's Alive." SkekEkt is the Skeksi court Ornamentalist from Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal. In the film the Skeksi have huge hulking bodies. They are imposing figures, towering over the Gelflings and Pod People. When I saw this head, I was surprised by the size. It's not much bigger than the average hand puppet, and much smaller than I imagined.
