300 (2006) - Dilios' (David Wenham) Costume, Shield, and Spear
Dilios' (David Wenham) costume, shield, and spear from Zack Snyder's swords-and-sandals action film 300. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) led 300 Spartan soldiers into battle against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army in a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae. Dilios was one of Leonidas' lead soldiers, and was featured heavily in the film.

The costume consists of a red canvas cape, a white canvas eyepatch, a leather codpiece, a sword and scabbard, and a pair of leather sandals. Finished in a metallic gold paint with dark highlights to show wear, the lot also includes a urethane helmet, a pair of urethane bracers and a pair of urethane greaves. The eyepatch, helmet and armour pieces are smudged with dried stage blood, while the cape has been faded to give it a battle-worn look. The bloodstains on the eyepatch screen matches to Dilios' return to Sparta. The sword and scabbard pieces are composed of a rubber sword with a metal insert and a brown leather scabbard. The helmet and eyepatch are displayed on a mannequin head included in the lot. The helmet's interior is noted with 'Dilios Stage 4,' and the cape interior and codpiece are also labelled 'Dilios #4.'

Dilios' bloody spear is made of wood with a grip wrapped in leather cords, and includes urethane spear tips at either end. The shield is made of fibreglass over foam, is painted to resemble rusted bronze. The back of the shield includes a leather bound grip, and a leather arm strap that shows 'Dilios Extra # Stage 1' written in black ink. The shield shows dents and damage cast into the fibreglass, giving it a battle-worn appearance. Paired with the costume are Warner Bros. certificates of authenticity for the costume and sword, seven wardrobe tags for individual costume components, two character scene breakdown sheets, and seventeen continuity pages showing David Wenham as Dilios The lot shows some wear from production use, but remains in overall good condition. Shield dimensions: 89 cm x 89 cm x 20 cm (35'' x 35'' x 8''); spear dimensions: 241 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm (95'' x 3'' x 3'')
