Our expert's notes

A pair of Kala (Ailsa Berk) mechanical dexterous gorilla hands from Hugh Hudson’s drama Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. These arms were created for use in the film by Berk as Tarzan’s gorilla mother but were never skinned or used. They feature a plastic shell, labeled "A" on the exterior and “Ailsa” on the interior and include pulley operated metal hands. The rig features three finger controls that could be pulled to translate motion to the hands. Each control moved the corresponding finger on the extension. The arms show slight wear, but remain in good condition. Dimensions (each): 27" x 5" x 4" (69 cm x 13 cm x 10 cm)
