The Academy Award of Merit, as it was first known in 1928 (now the Oscar) is a depiction of a knight holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes, one spoke for each of the original divisions of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers and Technicians. The base beneath the reel is made from Belgian black marble; the statue is 24k gold plated bronze; it weighs 8.5 pounds and stands 13.5 inches tall.
