A Spartan costume from Zack Snyder's historical action epic 300. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) led his greatly outnumbered army of elite Spartan warriors against the invading forces of King Xerxes of Persia (Rodrigo Santoro).

This lot includes a helmet, gauntlets, greaves, sandals, briefs, a cape, a shield, and a spear. The helmet is made of rubber with foam padding, painted to look like weathered bronze, and includes the name of stunt performer Mike Dopud handwritten inside. The matching gauntlets and greaves are made of urethane with foam padding and leather straps; and have the names of stunt performers Cody Laudan and Ryan Watson, respectively, written inside. The sandals, briefs, and the arm straps for the cape are made of brown leather, while the cape's buckle is bronzetone fiberglass and the cape is red-dyed canvas. The bronzetone, vacuum-formed plastic shield is weathered with simulated blood spatter and battle damage; while the rear of the shield features a brown canvas backing, leather and nylon straps, and a leather-bound handgrip. The spear is made of leather-wrapped wood, production-weathered, with a urethane head and resin rear, both painted gray to appear like dark metal. The lot is in good overall condition with some wear from production and age, including tearing in the back of the helmet, the front and back of the shield loosening from each other, the buckle loosening from the cape, and scuffing throughout.
