A hand cast of pioneering, Academy Award®-winning make-up effects artist Dick Smith. Smith won an Oscar in 1984 for his work on Amadeus, and his other credits include The Godfather, The Exorcist, Taxi Driver and Death Becomes Her. The cast was made when Smith visited the Harry Potter sets and workshops.

It is made of black resin and cast from Smith's left hand, which only had four fingers after his ring finger was removed following an injury and infection. The cast has some wear from storage and use, including scuffing, scratches and some discolouration. There is a ridge along the palm and wrist where the casting was imperfect. Dimensions: 27 cm x 10 cm x 8 cm (10¾" x 4" x 3¼")

Estimate: £400 - 600 M
