Our expert's notes

A golden skull mask from Mike Hodges' sci-fi adventure Flash Gordon. Faced with the destruction of Earth after a string of disasters, New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J Jones) and journalist Dale Arden (Melody Anderson), are forced by Dr Hans Zarkov (Topol) to fly to the planet Mongo to investigate. Little do they know that the ruthless emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) doesn’t take kindly to guests. Can Flash defeat Ming, free Mongo and save the Earth?
Emperor Ming's (Max von Sydow) guards wore their masks when Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) and his companions first entered Ming's palace, and later when the Hawkmen attack the War Rocket Ajax. Made from fibreglass, this mask is painted with a polished faux-gold finish. Details around the eye sockets and nose are painted matte black and an elasticated strap is tied to each side.
The piece displays some wear due to age and production use, including paint chipping and scratches. However in spite of this wear, the piece remains in very good production-used condition.
