A patinated Elder Predator helmet from Paul W. S. Anderson's sci-fi action film AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Elders recovered the body of Scar (Ian Whyte) after he was slain during the Yautja hunt for xenomorphs. While the decorations on this helmet identify it as an Elder Predator's, it ultimately was not used on-screen.

This fiberglass helmet was designed, fabricated, airbrushed goldtone, and applied with a brown and green patina by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) to appear weathered from age and battle. It features a nonfunctional, sculpted tri-laser on the right side, beaded leather hunting straps affixed across the brow and jaw, and a silvertone paint marking on the forehead meant to appear burnt by xenomorph blood. The textured black interior is marked "ARNOST", and affixed with a hanging wire and a one-way mirror visor secured with putty and gaffer's tape.

This helmet is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from production and age, including minor scuffing and some dried glue residue. Dimensions: 25" x 14" x 10" (63.5 cm x 36 cm x 25.5 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
