A pair of Dame Edna Everage glasses worn by the late entertainer Barry Humphries have sold for a whopping £37,800 at auction today.
The interior of one arm was incised with the label 'POSSUM' - a nod to Dame Edna's famous catchphrase.
Dame Edna Everage was Humphries' most identifiable invention with her lilac permed hair, outlandish cat-eye glasses and garish gowns internationally recognisable around the globe.
The vast collection sold at Christies auction included 243 personal items from the late star and showed off his wide range of interests.
Humphries himself was no stranger to a paintbrush, and a work by him titled The Library and Chapel - Quinta da Capela, Sintra, Portugal sold for £25,200, over eight times its estimate of £3000.
