In a highly anticipated event for movie memorabilia enthusiasts, a trove of rare Hollywood props and costumes is set to hit the auction block next month.

Additionally, Harrison Ford's fedora worn as Indiana Jones in the 1984 sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is likely to command over $400,000.
Rounding out the impressive lineup are personal items from the archives of the late actor Alan Rickman, including his heavily annotated shooting scripts from the 1988 film Die Hard and the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually. The Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction is set to take place from December 5-7 at BAFTA's facilities in London, featuring over 1,350 lots for public in-room bidding.
