LONDON — A hand-made whip used in the Indiana Jones film trilogy, a watch that was one of Elvis Presley’s last Christmas presents and a corset worn by Madonna on her 1990 “Blond Ambition” tour will be featured at a London auction next week.
The kangaroo-hide whip, estmated to go for $15,000 to $23,000, was first donated by Stephen Speilberg to UNICEF a decade ago.
It was one of 30 whips made for the movie series, and was featured in “Temple of Doom.”
The watch, estimated to sell for $9,500 or more, is a diamond-set Rolex given to Presley by his longtime manager, Tom Parker. It is engraved, “Elvis merry Christmas your pal Col. Tom Parker.” It was the last Christmas for Presley, who died the following year.
Christie’s estimates that Madonna’s corset will sell for at least $16,000.
Christie’s previewed the sale yesterday. The auction will take place Thursday.
