Indiana expected to trade this urn containing the ashes of Nurhachi to Lao Che in exchange for the Peacock's Eye diamond. Nurhachi was the first emperor of the Manchu Dynasty. His remains had been smuggled out of China and sold on the black market. Improbably, Jones found them in 1935 at a pawn shop in Istanbul. Unfortunately, Nurhachi's remains did not survive Indy's visit to Club Obi Wan.
This polyresin urn is hollow with removal lid, and matches the prop seen onscreen in detail; each carving is unique, front and back.
