The famous Wicked Witch of the West hat is going up for auction on Dec. 9 by Heritage Auctions. Last year, they sold a pair of ruby slippers, worn in the film, for $28 million.

The hat is for sale right as “Wicked: For Good” is set to hit theaters, ahead of Thanksgiving.

The black wool hat stands at 14 inches tall with a 19.5-inch diameter brim. It also still has the 22-inch elastic chin strap that tied around Hamilton’s jaw to keep it in place when she’d fly on her broomstick.

“When Dorothy Gale becomes Dorothy of Oz, it’s when she puts on the ruby slippers,” says Joe Maddalena, Executive VP of Heritage Auctions. “When the Wicked Witch becomes the Wicked Witch, she puts on the hat. So it’s this transformational moment of the birth of the witch. I think the importance of the hat is just incredible. It’s on par with the slippers.”

Other “Oz” artifacts are also hitting the block. A copy of the author L. Frank Baum’s original “The Wizard of Oz” book, signed by Judy Garland and the rest of the cast, including Toto’s paw prints, which was originally gifted to the daughter of Garland’s onset tutor.)

A right-foot ruby slipper worn by Garland during rehearsals is also available. The slipper is adorned with crimson-burgundy glass bugle beads. Also, an organza blouse of Dorothy’s, which was worn by the Oscar winner on set, has the name “Judy Garland” handwritten on the label.
