This item appears in Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
It is in Helm and Cloak in Baldur's Gate. It is connected to the subquest Searching for Balduran's Helmet. Like many items of Balduran, this is very valuable to merchants and they will buy it from you for 7000 gold.
In Baldur's Gate II, it can be looted from Jon's room on the first level of Irenicus' Dungeon. But it can be replaced by other item if you import it from Baldur's Gate I - see Importing a Character for details.
