Description

This Greek warrior helmet, made in the Spartan style, features a protective bowl over the head, which extends at the back with a neck guard. It also features other protective elements such as the ridge above the forehead, adding extra thickness, as well as the hinged cheek guards protecting the face. An interesting stylistic choice is the use of the metal plume- which imitates the feather plumes often utilised. One also finds reliefs on the sides depicting a four horse-drawn chariot, likely symbolising Helios. Inscriptions in Ancient Greek are also visible.
