In the scene in which Moses [Charlton Heston] turns the waters of Egypt into blood, Rameses [Yul Brynner] holds a ewer from which he pours water at the feet of the statue of the River God when he says the words 'Water of Life -- give drink to the desert and make green the meadow', he then holds a water jar when he says the words 'Sacred water -- make pure the flood from whence you came' -- it is at this point that the water from his jar turns into blood in his hands and he drops it in horror. The glass division in the water jar in this lot appears to have been in place in order to separate the coloured water from the clear water in the jar.
