One lion, two lion heads, one great horse with his legs, one sackbutt.

I stumbled across this awesome list at www.props.eric-hart.com. I did absolutely no work on this list except CTRL-C - so mad props to Propmaster Eric Hart.

I can't get over how awesome this is.

Henslowe’s Diary provides a list of the props in storage at Henslowe’s Rose Theatre. Though his diary does not mention Shakespeare, he was a contemporary and his theatre was similar in size and organization. I gave an excerpt of what was on that list, but since then, I’ve dug up the list in its entirety:

• One rock, one cage, one tomb, one hell mouth.
• One tomb of Guido, one tomb of Dido, one bedstead.
• Eight lances, one pair of stairs for Phaeton.
• Two steeples and one chime of bells and one beacon.
• One globe and one golden scepter.
• Two marchpanes, and the City of Rome.
• One golden fleece, two rackets, and one bay tree.
• One wooden hatchet, one leather hatchet.
• One wooden canopy, old Mahomet’s head.
• One lion skin, one bear’s skin and Phaeton’s limbs and Phaeton’s chariot and Argosse’ head.
• Neptune fork and garland.
• One crosier staff, Kent’s wooden leg.
• Jerosses head and rainbow, one little altar.
• Eight visors, Tamberlayne bridel, one wooden mattock.
• Cupid’s bow and quiver, the Cloth of the Sun and Moon.
• One boar’s head and Cerberus three heads.
• One caduceus, two moss banks and one snake.
• Two fanes of feathers, Belendon stables, one tree of golden apples, Tantelus tree, nine iron targets.
• One copper target, seventeen foiles.
• Four wooden targets, one greave armor.
• One sign for Mother Redcap, one buckler.
• Mercury’s wings, Tasso pictures, one helmet with a dragon, one shield with three lions, one elm bowl.
• One chain of dragons, one gilt spear.
• Two coffins, one bull’s head.
• Three timbrels, one dragon in fostes.
• One lion, two lion heads, one great horse with his legs, one sackbutt.
• One wheel and frame in the siege of London.
• One pair of wrought gloves.
• One Pope’s miter.
• Three Imperial crowns, one plain crown.
• One frame for the heading in Black Jone.
• One ghost’s crown and one crown with a sun.
• One black dog.
