Our expert's notes

An adult gorilla mask from Tim Burton’s sci-fi remake Planet of the Apes. The mask is made of a foam latex skin that attached to a thin plastic face plate. The face of the skin is fully painted and features brown and black hair. The mouth features painted resin teeth and is built to be moveable when worn. The mask is secured by two fastener straps concealed on the back. This piece is offered on an original wooden stand and foam head and features production labels reading “R. Piana Gorilla,” referring to the stunt performer meant to wear the piece during production. The foam latex skin is dry and flaking in some areas but remains in good condition. Dimensions: 9” x 9” x 16” (23 cm x 23 cm x 41 cm)
