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.
The Oscar statuette stands 13½ inches tall and weighs in at a robust 8½ pounds. The film reel features five spokes, signifying the five original branches of the Academy: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers. Although the statuette remains true to its original design, the size of the base varied until 1945, when the current standard was adopted.
