A pair of baby Eborsisk puppet heads from Ron Howard's fantasy adventure Willow. Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) turned a troll into an Eborsisk dragon hatchling by enchanting it with Cherlindrea's (Maria Holvoe) wand. These puppet heads were used for shots of the hatchling, before it grew into the massive full-size Eborsisk. This lot comes from one of the film's visual effects artists, Phil Tippett, who created the puppets for the film.

These two monstrous foam heads are painted pink with bared white teeth and were built onto wooden and metallic puppeteering rods. The heads are fragile with the foam cracking in several places from age, but are still very presentable They are currently mounted to a wooden base. Includes a letter of authenticity from Phil Tippett.
