Description

Dorothy's (Fairuza Balk) key from Walter Murch's fantasy adventure Return to Oz. Dorothy uses her key in the Emerald City to escape the pursuing Wheelers, after discovering it in her garden in Kansas. This key matches the one held by Dr. Worley (Nicol Williamson) in his office, where Dorothy receives electrotherapy at the beginning of the film. Made from metal, the key has been painted to resemble burnished brass. It features a circular headpiece with a diagonal line running through it, symbolizing an 'O' and a 'Z' and spelling out the iconic name of the magical land.
