A V mask, hat, and wig from James McTeigue's dystopian drama V for Vendetta. Freedom fighter V (Hugo Weaving) donned a wide-brimmed hat, wig, and mask molded on the face of Guy Fawkes, the architect of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in an act of rebellion against fascist British rule that inspired crowds of civilian followers to adopt the disguise as well.

This mask, hat, and wig were created for the Guy Fawkes crowd scenes at the end of the film where throngs of V's followers gathered to begin their public revolt. The mask is constructed of air-brushed, foam-lined sturdy plastic with a black elastic strap, while the black felt wide-brimmed hat features a black faux hair wig stitched into the brim and "V208" marked on the interior.

The set is in good overall condition, though the felt is pilling from age and handling, and the mask features a small fracture on the chin.

Dimensions (hat): 20" x 20" x 7" (51 cm x 51 cm x 18 cm);

(mask): 8" x 6 1/2" x 5" (20.5 cm x 16.5 cm x 12.75 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
