Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Vulcan Priest costume

original movie costume

This costume was custom made for the production and worn by an extra. The costume consists of a long-sleeved, full-length, blue-gray robe with a raised collar and loose, pleated, sleeves; an over the shoulder, black, silk-like sash featuring a beautiful copper-colored dragon motif. A wide, reflective gold stripe over the shoulder, a smaller red stripe on the left, and red faux jewel featuring a Vulcan iconographic symbol in the center. Included is a rust-colored, Vulcan-style hat featuring accent trim in metallic-gold and brown stripe or ‘brick’ pattern, chinstrap, second accent strap that drapes across the chest and red faux jewel with similar symbol. A sewn in Paramount tag reads "7-4" and a label reading "Evens Riccardi" is almost covering the tag. This costume may have also been reused in various Trek television shows. [SU]
