Our expert's notes

A pair of 'knuckle walker' ape arm extensions from Hugh Hudson’s drama Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. 'Knuckle walker' arm extensions were used to emulate the lengthy arms of apes and allow actors to easily imitate their walking motions. The walkers consist of metal frames, plastic shells, and latex hands. The 'knuckle walkers' feature interior wooden grips and padded wrist controls. The latex hands are detailed with lifelike paint and hand-tied hair wrists. The left walker is marked for use by “George Yaisoumi.” The items show wear from production, such as scuffing on the knuckles, and remain in fair condition. Dimensions (each): 25” x 5” x 3” (64 cm x 13 cm x 8 cm)
