A Ming royal guard costume from Mike Hodges' sci-fi adventure Flash Gordon. Emperor Ming's (Max von Sydow) royal guards wore their costumes throughout the film, most notably when Flash (Sam J. Jones) and his companions first entered Ming's palace, and later during Ming and Dale's (Melody Anderson) wedding.

The costume comprises a fibreglass helmet, breastplate and back armour; a red quilted jacket; a pair of bracers; a pair of matching red trousers featuring faux-fur detailing; three decorative leg armour plates; and a pair of greaves. The fibreglass armour components are finished in gold-coloured paint with red detailing, and feature small leather straps and buckles. There are signs of damage to the helmet, some buckles are missing, and the gold finish has worn away on some of the armour.

Estimate: £3,000 - 5,000 †
