Our expert's notes

A pair of mechanical extended finger gloves from Hugh Hudson’s drama Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. These mechanical hands were custom-made to be worn by the actors portraying apes in the film. The hands feature resin palm grips, metal finger controls, and fully articulating knuckles. These mechanical hands were designed with a pulley system to clench the hands' uppermost knuckles when an actor pulled the metal finger controls. They are marked for use by performers Peter Elliott, Ailsa Berk, George Yasoumi, and Martin Scully. These hands show wear from production use and storage, such as residual dried foam latex, but remain in otherwise fair condition. Dimensions (each approximate): 10” x 4” x 1” (25 cm x 10 cm x 3 cm)
