Greek Bronze Helmet of Corinthian Type

Deaccessioned at Christie's New York, Arms and Armour from the Mougins Museum of Classical Art sales, the 30th January 2024. Formed from hammered sheet bronze, the slender face with some concavity, the guard flaring, pronounced carination peaked at the centre of the forehead separating the face protectants from the crown of the helmet, the cheek-pieces each half-spade shaped, tapering to a pointed end, the eye holes outlined with a sharp raised ridge that extends at the outer corners of the sockets and continues along the thin nose guard, a slightly raised ridge outlines the periphery of the helmet.
