Model fruit used in the production of the 2010 adventure comedy Gulliver’s Travels. Eager to impress his workplace crush, New York Tribune mailroom staffer Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) takes on a reporting assignment in the Bermuda triangle. Little does he know that his journey through the triangle will take him to land of Lilliput, where he is the size of a giant.
This fruit and others like it were used to fill model bowls on the grand tables of the banquet being held in Gulliver’s honour for saving the King’s life. Made of resin, the model fruit bowl contents include bananas, pears, apples, grapes and pineapples.
The fruit has suffered some damage as a result of use, with pineapple leaves broken away at the stems. However, in spite of this minor flaw, the fruit remains in an otherwise good production-used condition, measuring 3cm x 3cm x 3cm (1.25” x 1.25” x 1.25”).
