A pair of Thuggee whips from Steven Spielberg's action adventure Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Mola Ram's (Amrish Puri) Kali-worshiping cultists used whips and other cruel punishments to intimidate the local children that they kidnapped to work in their mines.

The first whip is a brown suede cat o' nine tail, albeit one made with only eight tails, with frayed and knotted ends and a matching suede-wrapped handle. The second whip is a black bullwhip with a leather-wrapped wooden handle, knit leather lower thong, soft yarn upper thong, and a red rope popper with a frayed end. The lot is in good overall condition with wear from production and age, including deterioration to the leather of the black whip, which has a piece of black gaffer tape wrapped around an area where the leather has deteriorated to the extent of severing the whip into two pieces.

Dimensions (largest): 75" x 14" x 1 1/2" (190.5 cm x 36 cm x 4 cm); (smallest): 34" x 5" x 2" (86.5 cm x 13 cm x 5.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
