from John Lennon's house (which provided the basis for the album's cutout portrait of Sgt. Pepper) A Sony television set, apparently owned by Paul McCartney (though claimed by Blake to have been Lennon's); the receipt, bearing McCartney's signature, is owned by a curator of a museum dedicated to the Beatles in Japan. A stone figure of a girl A ceramic Mexican craft known as a Tree of Life from Metepec, substituted at the request of Germán Valdés, who had been asked to give consent for his image to appear Cloth grandmother-figure by Jann Haworth Cloth doll by Haworth of Shirley Temple wearing a sweater that reads "Welcome The Rolling Stones Good Guys" – third and last appearance on the cover A three-stringed flower guitar Another stone figure A garden gnome A cloth snake Flowers Excluded and obscured people (12) Leo Gorcey – was modelled and originally included to the left of Huntz Hall, but he was subsequently removed when a fee of $400 ($3,548 in 2020 terms) was requested for the use of the actor's likeness. (45C) Adolf Hitler – was requested by Lennon and modelled behind the band (to the right of Larry Bell), but was moved out of frame (being "too controversial", according to Blake) and replaced by Johnny Weissmuller. Blake insists that Hitler was hidden behind the band in the final shoot, but this is not apparent from any published photographs showing the nearly complete setup—even in those unobscured by the band. (54A) Unidentified laughing figure – barely visible (56A) Sophia Loren (actress) – behind the Beatles' waxworks (58A) Marcello Mastroianni (actor) – behind the Beatles' waxworks, only the top of the hat is slightly visible (65B) Timothy Carey (actor) – was modelled and originally included but largely obscured by George Harrison in the final picture (68) Mahatma Gandhi – was modelled and originally included to the right of Lewis Carroll, but was subsequently removed. According to McCartney, "Gandhi also had to go because the head of EMI, Sir Joe Lockwood, said that in India they wouldn't allow the record to be printed". Jesus Christ – was requested by Lennon, but he was not modelled because the LP would be released just over a year after Lennon's controversial statement that the band was "more popular than Jesus".
