The quintessential prop from 1956 epic, ''The Ten Commandments'' -- the commandments themselves. Pair of solid wooden and plaster tablets are crafted to mimic the appearance of stone onscreen. Plaster-coated boards are textured, painted and and carved with lines of characters. Surprisingly, one tablet contains 7 lines of text and the other contains 8. Tablets each measure 12'' across and 23.25'' in height from base to tip of the arched tops. Versos are unfinished. Tablets are each protected in a cover of thick black fleece. Fine.
