Eggs were seen in the nest of the Alien Queen when Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) arrived there to rescue Newt (Carrie Henn). This egg would have been used for model miniature sets of the Queen's nest. Both the egg and its base are made of fibreglass and hand-painted. The egg slots onto the centre of the base, which features a veiny, organic design. The items have some wear from production use and age, including some cracking and chips to the tips of the base's tendrils. Dimensions (egg on base): 43 cm x 30 cm x 26 cm (17" x 11¾" x 10¼") Estimate: £4,000 - 6,000 M
