The Penguin's (Danny DeVito) prosthetic hand appliances from Tim Burton's superhero sequel Batman Returns. Oswald Cobblepot was nicknamed The Penguin owing to his flipper-like hands and beaked nose.

To create the flipper-style hands, make-up supervisor Ve Neill fitted prosthetics over three of Devito's fingers, leaving his index finger and thumb remaining. The foam-latex hands are painted in pale skin-like tones and show two slightly curved, fused fingers, creating a pointed appearance, with indentations present for the fingernails. Both hands contain foam inserts to help maintain their shape. The lot displays signs of paint wear, and the foam latex has cracked and become fragile in places. Dimensions (each): 13 cm x 6 cm x 4 cm (5¼" x 2¼" x 1½")

Estimate: £1,500 - 2,500 M
