One of most wanted Xena props were the scrolls that appeared during the tv series. In this case, this is the screenused scroll used by Salmoneus in the winner proclamation of the Miss Known World Pageant contest. So, this piece had a leading role in this episode. The scroll was originally purchased in the New Zealand auction that took place after the show ended.
It is made of a kind of recycled paper or papyrus. The ends grips are made of wood and resin shells. The scroll is in mint condition for being over 25 years after the episode aired in January 20, 1997.
As we remember, the scroll has the beauty pageant finalists: first place for Miss Amphipolis, second place for Miss Skiros, third place for Miss Mesini, fourth place for Miss Parnassus and the last position was for Miss Artiphys, that became winner after the others quitted.
Definitely, an act of inclusion to transgender people, acceptance and equality of the collective that in the early 90’s they were synonym of social exclusion and marginalization by society in general with hardly any references on national television.
Screen matched marks are rounded with green, blue and red circles.
