Our expert's notes

John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) prototype cane from the production of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi action adventure Jurassic Park. Hammond, the mastermind behind Jurassic Park, relied on his cane, which featured an amber-encased mosquito at the knob. Such mosquitoes were used to create the dinosaurs within the park.

This cane was created as a prototype for the piece used onscreen by prop builder Scot A. McKay, and includes a letter of authenticity explaining the process by which the cane was constructed, the materials used, and the information that this was the only prototype cane made, though alternate handle designs were experimented with. Also included is an original production printed copy of the cane design by illustrator John Bell and five photographs of the cane's production and alternative prototype handles, such as a curved amber handle. The cane is carved to resemble ridged bone, with an affixed rubber tip and a mosquito encased in an amber-coloured resin knob. The cane exhibits minor scuffing and a split in the rubber tip. This represents an incredibly rare genuine production example of arguably the most memorable prop from this landmark film. Dimensions: 94 cm x 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm (37" x 3" x 3")
