GLADIATOR (2000) - Skeletorious Gladiator Helmet - A Skeletorious gladiator helmet from Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Betrayed Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) fought two Skeletorious gladiators clad in distinctive helmets during his first and second battles as a gladiator in the Zucchabar arena. The helmets were designed by Janty Yates, who won an Oscar& reg; for her costumes for the film.

This helmet was gifted by Scott to a film department head when production wrapped. It is constructed from fiberglass applied with a metal powder finish to replicate the appearance of forged steel and features brown leather lace detailing on either side. The interior is lined with leatherette-covered foam for the wearer's comfort.

This helmet is intentionally distressed by production to appear well-used in the arena, with battle scars and pitting on the front and back. It comes mounted to a heavy marble base engraved "GladiatorMM" in gold-color paint made by armorer Simon Atherton around the time of film's production. Other helmets from the film on bases of the same style are on display at Ridley Scott's winery. The interior exhibits some staining from wear. Dimensions: 10" x 10" x 19.5" (25.5 cm x 25.5 cm x 49.5 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
