A Serpent Jaffa Warrior costume from the sci-fi television show Stargate SG-1. Genetically engineered by the Goa'uld, the Jaffa served as soldiers for the main antagonists throughout the first eight seasons.

The costume consists of a serpent helmet; a decorative collar; a breastplate; a knitted woollen long-sleeved tunic; a pair of matching chaps with elasticated braces; a pair of ornate wrist bracers; a faux-leather skirt with chain-mail detailing; an ornate belt; a pair of greaves; and a pair of leather boots. Multiple components of the costume are labelled with names of supporting cast members. A Ma'Tok - the iconic staff weapon of the Jaffa - accompanies the costume.

Two resin eyes adorn the dense rubber serpent headpiece, which contains a helmet with padded foam pieces for the comfort of the wearer. Powered by two 9V batteries, internal lights illuminate the eyes, which glow red when activated. The intricately decorated armour pieces are made of a combination of foam and dense rubber, and have been finished in shades of faux-silver and gold-coloured paint. The staff weapon is a smaller variant, made from dense rubber with a faux-copper paint finish.

Two torso armour sections are missing from the lot. Signs of production use are present on the costume, including plucks on the woollen garments, marks and surface wear to the armour pieces, and minor cracks on the collar. The lot is accompanied by a studio certificate of authenticity. Dimensions (headpiece): 40 cm x 49 cm x 60 cm (15 3/4" x 19 1/4" x 23 3/4"); (staff): 133 cm x 11 cm x 7 cm (52 1/2" x 4 1/4" x 2 3/4")
