STARGATE (1994-2007) - Horus Guard Helmet and Collar
A Horus Guard helmet and collar worn in the Roland Emmerich sci-fi adventure Stargate. Horus guards wore their distinctive armour as they protected the Goa’uld Lord Ra (Jaye Davidson) from the human slaves around the great pyramid on the planet Abydos. The helmets were later repurposed for use in the TV series Stargate SG-1, worn by the guards of Ra’s queen Hathor (Suanne Braun) and his son Heru’ur(Douglas Arthurs). The main body of the helmet and head are constructed from foam rubber, with resin ‘feathers’ either side of the head. The elaborate falcon head, mounted into the helmet body with a metal rod, features a tall crown with a wide chin plate and a menacing hooked beak. Vinyl tassels, added for use on Stargate SG-1, are finished in metallic faux-silver and faux-bronze paint, and hang from each side of the neck. The eyes are made of polished, transparent resin and painted dark red, with faux gold edging. The collar is made of foam rubber over a fibreglass shell, with both the collar and helmet lined with black cloth. The armour is painted in metallic faux-silver, grey and faux-bronze tones. A label reading 'Horus 3 MID#1' is written underneath the foam rubber layer of the collar. There are scratches to the paint and tears in the rubber on both components, with signs of production use and natural aging throughout.
