Indy's Seltzer Glass

A clear drinking glass of fizzy seltzer belonging to Indy at the Raven Saloon bar. The glass appears during Indy’s interaction with Marion—he holds or has it set before him while brawls and a heated negotiation occur; Marion grabs and refills it at one point and thrusts it back toward him. The prop functions as a non-alcoholic beverage and a visual anchor that underscores Indy’s relative calm amid the saloon’s chaos.
