I will try to post the image. It is only the cheek piece.
Can't see the link.
Cant post also Nicos Eros shield reconstruction because its against his wishes.
Griffin on helmet exist in Ospreys "Greek hoplite black white image.
Guess our artist friend has info now.
Kind regards

Here is a conceptual drawing of Alkibiades' helmet. It is a composite sketch from different ancient Greek art designs.

That is pretty cool!

Giannis!
The coloured one of Alexander is superb! I also like the way you did the highlights on Kineas' helmet.

Right! This might have been the one I had seen,too,in that encyclopedia.Unfortunately I don't have it near me,it had a better photo of the cheek piece. Well,Albert could paint both this one and the dophin/Eros one as the desighns on each cheek piece was usually different. But I suppose if you do the profile you'll have to choose between the two. Probably better to choose the one Stefanos posted,though the other one has a better shape and is preserved better.
Thanks Stefanos
