Bronze helmet, 8th–7th century BC, Italy, armament; height 46 cm, width 17.5 cm, depth 23 cm, weight 2.740 kg;, The image shows a weathered metal object resembling a helmet with a long decorative crest shaped like a stylized animal head. The surface displays a patina in shades of green and dark green with areas of brown and gray, and the metal texture appears rough and pitted. The crest curves upward and forward, forming an animal-like head with a pronounced snout and a rounded eye area. The main dome of the helmet is rounded with an extended neck guard and ear-covering flaps, all showing uneven corrosion and encrustation. There are subtle variations of lighter green and pale discoloration across the surface, and a narrow darker band is visible near the base of the crest. The background is a uniform mid-gray.
