The beaded jacket Prince wore in the 1986 film Under the Cherry Moon and other items linked to the late musician are up for auction.

Boston-based RR Auction is handling the sales that wrap up Thursday. Other items are a black-and-white-striped bolero jacket designed for a 1993 Prince tour of Europe; a document he signed to play The Kid in Purple Rain; handwritten lyrics for The Screams of Passion; a custom Versace rhinestone cane; and a handwritten award acceptance speech.

The Under the Cherry Moon jacket is covered in shimmering beadwork and faux pearls, and features a bolero-style front with a cape back. It still has makeup on the collar because it is so delicate it has never been laundered.

Prince died in April at age 57.
