Description

Congo (Paramount, 1995), Lorene Noh "Amy" Gorilla Mask. Original gorilla headpiece prosthetic crafted from specially formed silicone made by Stan Winston Studio for the skin layer and hand-punched brown and black yak hair surrounding the face and ears. Black metal beads with metal armature are seen protruding from the nostrils, upper lip, and around the eyes. Mask is secured to a foam stand with handwritten, "SM. Amy / Neutral / Lorene" in black marker and "Lorene / Amy / 'Hero'" in red marker. To make Amy (Lorene Noh) a more visually appealing character, the designers took some creative liberties by modeling the face after the ostensibly cuter lowland gorilla as opposed to stern mountain gorillas. Exhibits production wear and age, with the red color on the lips mostly faded and the left ear folded and stuck to itself. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
