Caesar's headband (シーザーのバンダナ, Shīzā no Bandana) is a bandana originally belonging to Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in Battle Tendency, later passed to Joseph Joestar in a crimson Ripple bubble[1] following Caesar's demise at the hands of the Pillar Man Wamuu[2].
While it is initially a mere accessory, it is later crucial in Joseph's defeat of Wamuu[3] and becomes a recurring item, the image of Joseph Joestar tying Caesar's headband around his head[4][5] being iconic to the character.
The headband has a simple tessellated triangle motif, splitting it into two colors.
When worn by Caesar, it stops at the wings worn on either side of his head. However, this is changed for the anime adaptation, as well as depictions of Caesar based off of the anime. Some examples of these differences are:

These changes are likely supported by Araki since the 6th volume of JoJonium depicts Caesar's headband going all the way around his head, feathers absent entirely.
After being struck by the Divine Sandstorm[7], Caesar grabs Wamuu's poison antidote ring off of him and puts his headband through it. Then, using the last of his Ripple, he creates a crimson bubble that holds the bandana and ring. Joseph receives the bubble[1] and wears the bandana onwards[4] to honor his fallen comrade.
In Joseph's defeat of Wamuu[8], after throwing a molotov cocktail at him, Joseph follows up by lighting and throwing Caesar's headband. These items are sucked up by Wamuu, causing the pressurised air inside of him to light, imploding the Pillar Man's body. Because of this, the headband is ultimately destroyed. And so, Caesar is avenged, his sacrifice[7] allowing Joseph to finally triumph over Wamuu.
