A mechanical spider from a promotional music video for Barry Sonnenfeld's steampunk western comedy Wild Wild West. Jim West (Will Smith) rescued Rita Escobar (Salma Hayek) from Dr. Arliss Loveless' (Kenneth Branagh) giant, caged mechanical spider.

This hand-weathered metal and resin spider features metal mesh components, thick plastic "hair", and a metal base with screw holes to attach it to another surface, such as a cage. Its legs are designed to operate via pull cords running through the back. The spider is in fair overall condition with the pull cords cut and its right rear leg snapped just above the first joint by production.
