“SHAZAM!” This is Xena’s screen-matched broken chakram from season 2, episode 10: “The Xena Scrolls.” In 1940 Macedonia, Melinda Pappas discovers one half of Xena’s most powerful weapon with Gabrielle’s legendary scrolls, tucked away behind a concealed niche within the walls of the tomb of Ares, God of War.

This is the metal “hero” prop used for shots of Mel being led through the tomb and for close-ups of the chakram before the halves are fused back together. It has plenty of production wear and tear, but I think that adds to its personality. Production needs rarely called for metal weapons, only using them for close-ups and establishing shots. As such, metal props are the rarest production material, and metal chakrams are even rarer.
