Roman leather sheath

Here is a nice addition to my collection: Roman leather sheath seen in different episodes during the series and worn same-style by Lucy in “Ides of March” from season 4, when Xena wears the Roman uniform with the intention of blending in with the Roman army and killing Caesar.

The sheath is made of brown thick leather with an internal rigid structure, it comprises woven leather and conical chromed rivets.

This Roman sheath variant was always my favorite.

Xena Heaven gown

After being crucified, the souls of Xena and Gabrielle ascend to Heaven, where they discover that the demon Callisto is stalking them, driven by a thirst for vengeance.

 

After leaving her body on the cross, Xena (Lucy Lawless) wore this celestial gown—a garment actually used during filming—in the first episode of the fifth season, titled "Fallen Angel."

 

Xena wears this chiffon gown, which combines multiple layers of cream and ivory gauze in a flowing, distressed-look design, over a nude-colored lining.

Gabrielle's Peasant dress from Remember Nothing

 Here a beautiful addition to my Xena’s archive: Gabrielle’s peasant dress worn by Renée O’Connor in the episode “Remember Nothing” from season 2. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

The gown features a Renaissance-inspired silhouette made from a lightweight, lavender-colored linen fabric. It features a gathered scoop neckline and a front-lacing corset style bodice. The short sleeves include unique open slits that are held together by thin, adjustable lace-up ties along the arms

Staying completely true to the episode, the dress originally belongs to Xena’s mother, Cyrene, and it is given to Gabrielle so she will feel more comfortable.

 

Do you know that this episode is a direct homage to Frank Capra’s classic 1946 holiday film, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Just like George Bailey, Xena is granted a glimpse into an alternate reality to see what the world would look like if her life had taken a completely different path…

Xena's screen-used Armour

A recent acquisition: Xena’s screen-used complete armour worn by Xena’s stunt double from season 1 of the series.

 

The ensemble features signs of wear and some pieces are cracked. However the general condition is good, considering more than 30 years have passed.

The armor consists of a breastplate made of semi-rigid, flexible material, featuring oxidized brass rivets and elastic straps at the sides.

 

It includes brown leather pauldrons with brass rivets and semi-rigid sections imitating forged copper, along with the classic zigzag copper pieces that secure the breastplate.

Finally, there is the backplate—perhaps the most damaged piece—with the word “Acrobatic” written on the inside.

After so much time, some of the Warrior Princess’s rarest pieces have resurfaced; I couldn’t be happier to make a special place in my collection for such an iconic find.
