Bronze Helmet of Apulo-Corinthian Type

High, clearly set-off skull with a strongly contoured brow bow. Small eye cut-outs and a short, cut-out nose-guard. Flanged neck-guard with preserved loop. Remnants of a riveted crest-holder on the crown. Profuse engraved decor. An attacking boar is depicted on each cheek-piece. The nape of the neck displays a sphinx, a boar, a lion and a mythical creature. The perimeter and eye cut-outs are bordered in a fine herringbone pattern. This type of helmet was worn atop the head like a cap. The apertures for the eyes and nasal guard were too small to be functional and are purely decorative features.
