Re: Was the orb that Jefferson gave to Rumple, Maleficents o

No, I don’t think so. It looks like the orb belonging to Wicked Witch of the West from Wizard of Oz, which connects to the slippers he wanted.

The dark curse was not originally in the orb, Maleficent put it there to keep it safe when she got it from Regina, who got it from Rumple.
