Description:
Prop Wrist Cuffs worn by High Priest Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo's character ) in the film Mummy, The (1999). In the movie an American serving in the French Foreign Legion on an archaeological dig at the ancient city of Hamunaptra accidentally awakens a Mummy: Imhotep.
These wrist cuffs were custom made for the production for use in The Mummy (1999) and then the bottom edge of the cuffs were trimmed by wardrobe department for use in the sequel to the movie The Mummy Returns, The (2001) , specifically for shooting the scene in which Rick and Imhotep both nearly fall into a chasm, that apparently leads to the underworld, and grab onto the ledge. While Rick is rescued by Evelyn, Anck-Su-Namun leaves Imhotep to die while he begs for her assistance. After this betrayal, Imhotep loses all will to live, since his only reason for returning from the grave was to be reunited with his lover, who apparently did not fully reciprocate his affection. He gives Rick and Evelyn a sad envious smile and willingly casts himself into the pit, thus ending his reign of terror once and for all. These Wrist Cuffs are mainly made of skin and the inside of each have a thin layer of plastic for actor´s comfort. Cuffs were lightly painted in gold with Egyptian style logo on the front of the cuffs . In screen used condition; gold paint has worn off the majority of the leather. Item Size: 8.5" x .25" x 8".
