Athena screenused dagger style prop

 Hi guys! I've hadnt posted yet but Ive adquired this dagger a few months ago and I forgot to post it here. So,as you can see it is a screenused dagger used in the tv series in different episodes. The most recognized moment where the dagger is used by Athena in Motherhood, in this case the dagger doesnt have the blue faux jewel of the Athena dagger, instead it has a New Zealand shell in both sides. 

The dagger is in very good condition, is made of heavy resin with a metal rod inside and the painting is almost intact.

This dagger was seen in the episode "Here comes Miss Amphipolis..." in the final scene.

In the episode of "Motherhood" Athena holds it at the beginning of the episode.

Also, Athena takes it out of the sheath when she fights Xena at the end.

Front, the copper breastplate looks stunning, also, you can see that the kneepads had lost the copper painting over the reliefs.

Side - Chakram details are amazing.

Back side, in my opinion, its quite interesting how is the corset laces, the copper back armour, and you can watch that most of the paua shells from the scabbard are missing.

Caesar Screenused Costume

Hello xenites! Today I bring you an interesting post with a costume probably never seen in photos after the show ended. This is the Caesar screenused costume worn by Karl Urban in the episode "When fates collide" from season 6. I adquired this wardrobe from an ebay auction from a company that said that this costume came to them from the trading card company that made the card sets for this show, they were sent these direct from the shows to cut up and use for trading cards, but these never got cut up and now is one important piece of my collection.

Julius Caesar on Xena, episode "When Fates Collide" from season 6.

Caesar was one of the most popular male character from the show as Ares played by Kevin Smith. I've always watched the Caesar golden resin armour from Jason owner of MoviePropKing webpage and I never believed that I can ever have an amazing piece as that one, so I must say I feel really lucky of having this amazing costume worn by the popular actor, Karl Urban.

The lion chest armour made of heavy metal, very detailed.

It is a eight pieces costume that includes: (1) lion chest armour, (2) leather heavy belt, (3) burgundy/brown leather shirt, (4) burgundy pants, (5) red skirt, (6) leather skirt, (7)leather sandals and (8) leather sheath attached to the belt.

However, there a few items missing in the costume, the metal cuffs, purple leather cape  (probably cut off for making the caesar tradding cards), and the knee wraps. Also, the laurel crown or the imperial ring, if anyone have any information of where they can be those items, is welcome.

Here are a few screencaps from the episode where you can see the costume clearly.
