Marion's Scarf

Marion wears the scarf loosely around her neck inside The Raven saloon amid brawling patrons and flickering lamplight. After Indy departs following their tense bargain and kiss, she tugs it aside to expose the gold sun-shaped medallion dangling at her throat, its bottom broken off. The scarf shields the artifact from view during the haggling over her father's lost collection.
