Our expert's notes

A pair of Digit’s (John Alexander) dexterous hands from Michael Apted's biopic Gorillas in the Mist. These articulating hands were designed to emulate real gorilla hand movement. The arms are constructed of a plastic shell and are covered in hand-tied fur with foam latex skin over mechanical cable controlled hands. The foam latex hands are detailed with hand-punched fur and are painted to appear lifelike. The interior of the shell features a metal wrist control with foam padding and has three metal fingertip controls. The interior of the hands are marked "Lft. Dext. J.A. #1" and “Rt. Dext. J.A. #1" respectively. The hands show slight wear from production and age, such as dried and cracked foam latex, but remain in overall fair condition. Dimensions (each): 26" x 9" x 12" (66 cm x 23 cm x 30 cm)
