I belief you call it Weisenau, but what else is there to say about them?

You can also take a closer look here:

To me they look somehowe connected to this Gallic Helmet

They very much intrigue me possibly because of there Celtic Barbaric appearance. But are they??

I only let him alter his normal product quit a lot.
I send him a picture of his helmet upon which I drew new shapes and other changes.
After all he did a very fine job on it, I am quit pleased with it!

Folkert
