An Immortal Warrior costume from Zack Snyder's historical epic 300. Xerxes' (Rodrigo Santoro) elite Persian warriors wore their costumes during the epic battle scenes in which they fought the Spartans. Snyder's depiction of Frank Miller's comic book series proved to be a box office hit, launching the director's work and establishing his signature visual style, such as using specific color palettes and the technique of speed ramping during fight sequences.

The costume features a black cotton hood, a silver-color chromed fiberglass mask (labeled "AW" and "3"), a neckpiece, a suede-like sleeved top, a leather padded chest-piece, trousers, a sash around the waist (labeled "Benoit Dufour" and "Immortel" [sic]), and prosthetic foam-latex hands and feet. Included are several layered armor pieces on the shoulders, arms (both labeled "8"), chest, and outer legs, all made from a combination of plastic and rubber with a black leather trim and decorative brown suede-like cord. Multiple armor components are labeled "Jon Eusebio," a stuntman who worked on the production.

A pair of twin-crossed black plastic scabbards with removable dense rubber swords are mounted on the warrior's back. The pieces exhibit signs of wear from production use, including tears and paint wear on the foam latex hands. Minor scratches and paint wear are also apparent on the chest armor and mask. The costume is presented on a custom-made mannequin display and is accompanied by a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity. Dimensions (displayed): 19" x 30" x 76" (48 cm x 76 cm x 193 cm)
