Staff of Ra headpiece and necklace replicas from Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. The recognisable Staff of Ra headpiece appeared in numerous scenes, including when Commander Toht (Ronald Lacey) burned his hand on its emblem while attacking Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), when Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) spoke with Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), and again when Indy used its headpiece in the Well of Souls to locate the Ark of the Covenant.

This moulded plastic headpiece was cast from the original moulds for the Staff of Ra headpiece and gifted to a Raiders crew member. It is ornately sculpted with a double-sided bird design surrounded by hieroglyphs and fine ridged details along the borders, painted gold, and inset with a plastic faux ruby eye. The headpiece comes with a gold-colour link chain necklace and two brass staff mounts. The lot exhibits minor signs of wear, including light scratching and paint flaking. Dimensions: (largest) 15 cm x 10 cm x 3 cm (6" x 4" x 1.25")

Estimate: £1,200 - 2,400 Ω
