An original puppet head used in the production of James and the Giant Peach, the 1996 fantasy picture produced by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick who had previously collaborated on The Nightmare Before Christmas.

This is an original puppet head for the character of the Glowworm voiced by Miriam Margolyes, the intricately constructed puppet head features an internal metal armature with a hand painted foam skin, poseable jaw and eye antennae and detachable eyeballs allowing the crew to animate it as required and is decorated with various design elements.

The puppet head measures approximately 4" x 3" and remains in excellent stable condition exhibiting only minor hardening and paint loss.
