A horned Elder Predator helmet from Paul W. S. Anderson's sci-fi action film AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Elders recovered the body of Scar (Ian Whyte) after he was slain during the Yautja hunt for xenomorphs. While the decorations on this helmet identify it as an Elder Predator's, it ultimately was not used on-screen.

This horned fiberglass helmet was designed, fabricated, and painted goldtone with brown symbols by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) to appear weathered from age and battle. It features stylized resin horns on top, a tri-laser slot on the right side, beaded leather hunting straps affixed across the brow and jaw, and a silvertone paint marking on the forehead meant to appear burnt by xenomorph blood. The textured black interior is marked "MIREK", and affixed with a hanging wire and a one-way mirror visor secured with putty and gaffer's tape.

This helmet is in good overall condition with some wear from production and age, including a bit of scuffing and a few large areas of paint chipping on the horns. Dimensions: 25" x 14" x 14" (63.5 cm x 36 cm x 36 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
