Montague is a 16 inch chimp made from hand-dyed brown and rose tipped mohair with chocolate brown suede for his paws and inner ears. His eyes are mauve glass buzzard eyes and his face is fully needle-felted and then hand shaded with pens. He has hand-stitch fingers, toes and inner ears and is filled with wool and steel shot. Montague is 9-way locknut and disc jointed to allow for lots of posing possibilities and this gives him the familiar shape of an ape.
