King Aeetes' (Jack Gwillim) armour from Don Chaffey's fantasy epic Jason and the Argonauts. The king wore his armour when he and his soldiers chased Jason (Todd Armstrong) and the Argonauts.

The film is well-known for its groundbreaking stop-motion animation effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen and is considered by many to be a fantasy classic.

The leather cuirass comprises two pieces of leather connected by buckled straps at the midriff and shoulders. It has an interior label from Italian costume supplier Costumi d'Arte Peruzzi and some illegible handwritten text alongside it. It is adorned with metal and leather detailing.

The cuirass has some wear from production use and age, and is missing one of the metal adornments at the bottom of the cuirass.

Additional Provenance: This lot comes from the archives of the famed Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte. The company has been supplying some of the biggest film productions in the world with costumes for over 100 years.
