Caption

Greek spearhead and helmet, drawing, ca. 1876, pen-and-ink and wash on paper glued to brown cardboard; drawing 12.9 x 7.6 cm, cardboard 34.8 x 25.0 cm; Vienna., A hand-drawn image on a pale, textured sheet shows a metallic helmet and a spear. The helmet is rendered in shades of muted yellow-green with darker shadows and subtle gray highlights, featuring a rounded dome and downward flaring cheek guards with an angular central ridge suggesting eye openings. To the right, a spear with a tapered metal head in similar yellow-green tones sits atop a wooden shaft colored in light brown and reddish-brown, with soft gray shading along edges. The paper background is off-white with a beige border, and the drawing has faint pencil outlines and shading.
