- Lot Description
Ca. 600 BC. A bronze combat helmet of archaic Corinthian-Type, hammered from a single sheet of bronze with finely contoured almond-shaped eyes that gently taper to a point. Simplistic curvilinear eyebrows. Arched enveloping cheek pieces that provide a vertical opening for the mouth. A border has been drilled with rounded head-headed rivets to secure an interior lining. The nose-guard is wide with a round conical shaped terminal end. The dome-shaped calotte with a widely protruding round back of the head continuing into a slightly flaring neck-guard. The ridge decorated with linear decoration above the eyebrows. The domed skull with attachments for plumes. This fine example of helmet would have been owned by a wealthy member of the social elite. Perhaps someone of high importance. Item comes with a professional historical report from Ancient Report Specialists. The helmet is completely intact, without repair or restoration which is rare on the global art market.
