Description

CHALCIDIAN BRONZE HELMET WITH CHEEKS DEPICTING LIONS. Ca. 330 BC. A bronze Chalcidian helmet with a domed skull rising to a slight apex. Pairs of fluted ribs run from the apex down the crown, dividing the skull into panels, and an offset brow band encircles the head. The lower edge is scalloped at the forehead and drawn down at the temples to form eye openings. Hinged circular cheek-pieces hang from the rim, each repoussé with a lion in profile within a raised border. Mounted on a modern stand. For similar see: AA. VV., Antike Helme. Sammlung Lipperheide und andere Bestände des Antikenmuseums Berlin, 1988, Tafel 10. Size: 300mm x 190mm; Weight: 515g Provenance: Private London collection, acquired on the European art market pre 2000. This piece is accompanied by a historical report from Alessandro Neri, an international Cultural Heritage expert based in Florence, Italy.
