The hat worn by protagonist Harrison Ford in the second installment of the movie 'Indiana Jones' was sold at auction for $630,000 (approximately 850 million KRW).

On the 17th (local time), the British BBC reported that the auction house Prop Store held an auction where this hat found a new owner. The hat appeared in the movie when Dr. Jones (Harrison Ford), an archaeologist, jumped from a crashing plane into a boat with his colleagues. Originally, the hat was owned by Dean Ferrandini, who was Ford's stunt double, but it went up for auction after Ferrandini passed away last year.

Made by the London-based Herbert Johnson hat company, this hat is crafted from rabbit felt, and the inside of the hat is inscribed in gold with the initials 'IJ' for Indiana Jones.

Other props used in movies such as 'Star Wars' and 'Harry Potter' were also sold at the auction that day.

The helmet worn by an Imperial Scout Trooper in the 1983 film 'Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi' was sold for $315,000 (approximately 426 million KRW), and the magic wand used by Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,' was auctioned for $53,550 (approximately 72 million KRW). Additionally, the suit worn by Daniel Craig, who played James Bond in the 2012 film '007 Skyfall,' was sold for $35,000 (approximately 47 million KRW).

Meanwhile, last month, the golden bikini worn by the late Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the 'Star Wars' movies, was sold at auction for over 200 million KRW. At the Heritage Auction held on the 26th of last month in Dallas, Texas, USA, the bikini worn by Fisher was sold for $175,000 (approximately 240 million KRW). Considered one of the most famous costumes in film history, this bikini was designed by 'Star Wars' concept designer Richard Miller and consisted of a set including the top, bottom, hip rings, and bracelets. Princess Leia wore this costume when she was held as a slave by the crime boss 'Jabba the Hutt' in the 1983 film 'Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.' The movie also features a scene where she uses the bikini's ring to kill Jabba the Hutt. In addition to this costume, a model of a fighter jet from the first 'Star Wars' film, 'Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977), was sold for $1.5 million (approximately 2.07 billion KRW) at the same auction.
