Caesar's headband is a bandana originally belonging to Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in Battle Tendency, later passed to Joseph Joestar in a Ripple bubble after Caesar's demise at the hands of the Pillar Man Wamuu.
While it is merely an accessory, it is later crucial in Joseph's defeat of Wamuu, and becomes a recurring symbolistic item of Joseph Joestar and Battle Tendency, showing up in various future artworks and appearances of the Part 2 protagonist.
Appearance
The headband has a simple tessellated triangle motif, splitting it into two colors.
