Our expert's notes

Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) bullwhip from Steven Spielberg's action adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Synonymous with his character, Indiana Jones carried his bullwhip throughout his adventures in all four Indiana Jones films, and notably throughout his adventure in the Temple of Kali.

Under the supervision of Glenn Randall, stunt co-ordinator for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ford learned how to use the bullwhip between takes. Continuing to hone his skills with a whip during the production of the sequel, Harrison Ford whipped a sword from a Thuggee cultist in a single take. This was major achievement for the actor, who had injured his wrist in an earlier career as a carpenter.

The No. 455 series bullwhip was made by master whip maker David Morgan, who also made whips for Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Zorro (Antonio Banderas). While additional bullwhips were made for the sequel, a number of whips are believed to be reused from the original film. The piece is 10 feet long and constructed from 12-plait, natural tan kangaroo hide, with a wrist loop attached to the butt of the diamond-braided handle. Accompanying this lot is a Letter of Authenticity from the Comisar Collection.

Displaying signs of natural wear from the production, with the leather on the wrist loop broken and frayed on one end, the bullwhip remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (unfurled): 325 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm (128” x 1 ½” x 1 ½”); (coiled): 35.5 cm x 26.5 cm x 4 cm (13” x 10 ½” x 1 ½”)
