Stargate Abydos Cartouche Original Concept Art

Art department created black and white pencil sketch on vellum with clear plastic overlay. Measures 17in × 11in.

Provenance

Taken by Propworx staff directly from The Bridge Studios, where MGM’s Stargate series were produced.

Original concept art for the Abydos cartouche room in the Stargate SG-1 pilot, “Children of the Gods”. This room is the key to Jack O’Neill’s team discovering that the Stargate can go other places. Comes in two layers, with the original concept art underneath and a cello and paper overlay of the revised concept art on top. Concept artists will often use this method of adjusting their artwork rather than erasing the original and starting over.
