Screen-used Macedonian soldier costume worn during production of Oliver Stone’s 2004 film Alexander. The costume is highlighted by its pairing of a vacuum-formed plastic breastplate and backplate, expertly painted to assume distressed bronze metal finish, with leather hook straps and bold sun design on upper chest. Also includes a pair of bronze-painted plastic shin guards with leather hook straps, a vacuum-formed and bronze-painted war helmet, a beige cotton tunic, a leather panel skirt, two leather wrist guards, and a pair of leather sandals. The inside of the breastplate is labeled in felt tip, “MPM30, 5,” the inner helmet is labeled, “MPLI175,” and the inside of a shin guard, “MPLI 196.” In fine, screen-used condition. A fully realized and historically accurate costume from Stone’s 2004 ancinet Greek epic.
