Corinthian-type helmet. This 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 applied spheres. A row of similar spheres lies 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 dated 630–600 BC. Possible origin: Sparta or Mycenae according to Otto Schaubert. Function: weapon. Height 23 cm; width 18.2 cm; depth 25 cm; weight 1.322 kg., A corroded metal helmet shown in profile, with a rounded dome and a pronounced nose guard, exhibiting a mottled surface of green, reddish-brown, turquoise, and traces of yellowish and purplish tones; the surface texture appears pitted and flaky with areas of rough oxidation and patches of smoother metal, and the helmet rests on a clear stand against a neutral gray background.
