The Headless Horseman's (Christopher Walken) costume from Tim Burton's fantasy horror Sleepy Hollow. The Headless Horseman wore his costume throughout the film as he haunted the town of Sleepy Hollow, with this version of the costume worn during the first flashback scene, in which the Hessian was beheaded.

Created by Academy Award®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, the costume consists of a grey, damask-patterned floor-length cape; a faux-leather and black velour tunic decorated with a double-headed dragon appliqué on the chest; a pair of gauntlets featuring bullion-embroidered double-headed axe emblems (labelled "Chris Walken 13121 The Headless Horseman Sleepy Hollow"); a thick leather belt with a large patterned belt buckle and an attached scabbard (labelled "Cosprop"); a pair of riding trousers with red-and-faux-silver ribbon detailing (labelled "Chris W, Hessian #1"); a pair of leather, scale-like thigh-high boots (right boot labelled "Chris W"); and a pair of removable ornate spurs (labelled "L" and "R" in red ink). Popper fastenings are located on the collar of the cape, allowing it to be easily attached to the tunic. The silver-coloured spurs comprise a metal open-mouthed face with a swirling protruding tongue leading to a spiked rubber wheel.

The costume comes with a replica Sleepy Hollow town sign, cast from the original production moulds in resin and fibreglass. Intentional distressing is present on several components of the costume, including remnants of stage blood on the cape, and there is a small hole near the tunic's left armhole. The spurs remain in a fragile state and should be handled with care. Dimensions (sign): 42 cm x 54 cm x 2.5 cm (16 1/2" x 21 1/4" x 1")
