Description

Yoda's (Frank Oz) left hand from Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) sought out the self-exiled Jedi Master Yoda in the swamps of Dagobah. Yoda was brought to life on screen using a highly detailed puppet built by Stuart Freeborn and the film's creature effects team, with Oz operating and voicing the character. This hollow, three-fingered foam latex hand is painted green with yellow resin fingernails and sculpted details, including wrinkles, knuckles, and veins. It exhibits latex stiffening, cracking and paint loss, and white paint stains on one nail from age and production. Dimensions: 7" x 4.5" x 1.5" (18 cm x 11.5 cm x 4 cm)
