Corinthian-type helmet, This Corinthian-type helmet, with thicker walls in the cheekpieces and a significantly thickened nose plate, has a domed peak, beneath which the walls are slightly concave, widening again at the edge. At the back, near the edge, are two small, round holes for attaching a cord. There is a similar hole in the peak. The edges of the helmet, cheekpieces, and eyeholes are decorated with a precisely crafted band of ornamentation consisting of rectangular fields framed at the top and bottom by a double engraved line and separated by double engraved squares, between which are rows of tiny plastic spheres. A row of similar spheres is located between the lines framing the rectangles at the top. The ornamentation reaches the base of the nose guard, which is decorated only with engraved lines, repeating the shape of the protective plate. Dated ca. 600 BC previously 630–600 BC. Attributed origin: Sparta Greece, — Mycenae Greece per Otto Schaubert. Function: weapon/militaria. Dimensions: height 23 cm, width 18.2 cm, depth 25 cm; weight 1.322 kg., A rounded metallic object with a domed top and a flared lower edge sits against a plain pale gray background on a clear vertical stand; the surface shows a mottled patina with predominant green and turquoise areas interspersed with rusty brown and reddish spots, plus patches of darker gray and small flecks of yellowish tones, and the lower rim appears irregular and slightly corroded.
