The front of the base reads: ''1998-1999 Primetime Emmy Awards / Outstanding Makeup for a Series / The X Files - 'Two Fathers / One Son (Parts 1 & 2)' / FOX / Mark Shostrom, Makeup Artist''. Measures 15.25'' in total height, with a 7.5'' diameter base. Weighs 4 lbs., 13.25 oz. Light tarnishing to the back of figure's dress, else fine.
