Captain Hector Barbossa's (Geoffrey Rush) costume from Gore Verbinski's action-adventure sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on a display. Barbossa wore his signature costume throughout the film as he teamed with Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' Locker.
The costume is composed of a large felt hat accented with black and brown feathers; a metal pendant with ornate serpent designs on a metal chain; a long nailhead-patterned grey coat; an off-white linen shirt with pleated sleeves; an ornately patterned long woven vest with metal buttons; a yellow fabric sash; a thick leather belt with a decorative metal buckle; a leather fingerless glove; a pair of pleated trousers; and a pair of black leather boots (both labelled "Geoffrey Rush 43"). A resin red-tipped tooth-like earring is attached to a metal hoop hanging from the display's head section. A Ditta Pieroni Bruno costumier label inside the hat displays handwritten text reading "Pirati Dei Caraibi, Barbossa", and a further label reads "Barbossa".
An additional leather belt with an attached sheath is draped over the shoulder like a baldric to complete the look of the costume, which comes displayed on a custom-made mannequin. Much of the ensemble is intentionally distressed, giving it the worn-in appearance of authentic pirate garb, notably on the hat, shirt and boots, though there is some fading on the coat. The lot comes with an additional earring and hoop. Dimensions (displayed): 38 cm x 67 cm x 196 cm (15" x 26 1/4" x 77 1/4")
Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
Estimate: £30,000 - 60,000 M
