Description

Trapped in a quarantined building, Artie desperately needs to retrieve another artifact from outside the perimeter, in third season episode Love Sick. Pulling François Villon's inkwell from his emergency kit, Artie tosses the ink at a window, creating an odd black portal, through which objects can pass, if only for a few seconds before the void collapses and the ink returns to the inkwell.  Villon was a fifteenth-century French poet, ne'er-do-well, and thief; his innovative poetry largely concerned his hard life and the lives of others bound for the gallows. Villon disappeared after being banished from Paris at the age of 32.   Tinted transparent green glass inkwell, containing black paint simulating ink, with a removable cork. Second inkwell is a nearly identical soft rubber stunt prop, also with black paint and removable cork.   From VIP Fan Auctions & NBCUniversal.
