The hands holding Sarah.
Helping Hands occupy a vertical corridor through which Sarah inadvertantly falls in Labyrinth. The Helping Hands communicate by coming together to form 12 unique faces (generally using 4 to 8 hands) each with unique voices and personalities. They also hold Sarah in place while she decides whether she'd like to go back up the corridor, or continue downward. When she chooses down, the hands drop her, and it is revealed that the bottom of their shaft leads to an oubliette.
The shaft of hands was made up of hundreds of painted latex gloves, modeled after Jane Gootnick's hand.[1]
