Rolling Gong Escape

A sturdy marble bench arrests the rolling gong and simultaneously serves as Indy’s launch point: he takes a long stride onto it and dives through the high skylight as the gong comes to a stop.

Before: Positioned in the gallery as part of the display furniture, unused.

After: Impacted by the gong and used as an athletic launch platform; likely scuffed or chipped from contact with the gong and Indy’s weight.
