A Ming Palace Guard Helmet and Skull Mask from Mike Hodges' sci-fi adventure Flash Gordon. Helmets were worn by the guards operating the weapons batteries of Mongo's imperial palace. Emperor Ming's (Max von Sydow) guards wore their masks when Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) and his companions first entered the palace, and later when the Hawkmen attacked the War Rocket Ajax.

The helmet is made of fibreglass and is painted glossy black with gold-coloured embellishments and a red star emblem. The gold-coloured mask is also fibreglass, finished with black paint in the eye sockets and nostrils to add definition to the features.

Both items exhibit minor chipping to their surfaces, while the mask is missing its elasticated strap. Dimensions (helmet): 24 cm x 17 cm x 21.75 cm (9.5" x 6.75" x 8.5")

Estimate: £2,000 - 4,000 M
