The Cup of a Carpenter

Description

ELSA
It would not be made out of gold.

INDIANA
That’s the cup of a carpenter.
 
Jeffrey Boam, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Scent: Last Crusade - Essential oil blend of black pepper, future amber, and cinnamon
Texture: Thick and glossy with gravel

Film Context
Having been forced to find the Holy Grail in order to save his father, Indiana Jones is confronted with many shining cups, and has to choose the true one.  Using his knowledge of the Biblical Jesus, who was a carpenter, he picks the least auspicious cup there.

Notes on Charms and Add-Ins
The grail charm is hand sculpted from polymer clay.  The gold topper mimics the gold inside of the grail from the movie.

Notes on Texture
The classic T&G from the Library comes with smooth gravel in reference to the rocky surroundings Indiana Jones finds the Grail.

Notes on Scent
Similar to the scent blend from The Codex slime, I wanted to evoke something complex and mysterious - the black pepper gives a sharp fruity note, the amber has a unique sweetness, and the cinnamon adds a spicy urgency.

Notes on the Book Cover
I created a fake academic book about the history of the Holy Grail, using The Damsel of the Sanct Grael by Dante Gabriel Rossetti for the front cover.
