Bronze helmet of Corinthian type

early 6th century BCE
Not on view
Restituted
This artwork was restituted in September 2022. It is no longer in the museum’s collection.
The helmet represents a characteristic form of the late seventh and early sixth century B.C. Unusual, however, is the interior, because it shows three sections that have been joined together--the calotte, the lower wall, and the nose-piece. The projections along the edges are the remains of rivets that would have secured an added material such as bone or ivory.
