Deir el Medineh spangenhelm - Peroni - 08-08-2007
Does any member of RAT have measurements or scale drawing for the Deir el Medineh helmet at all?
I'd be very grateful if you had!
Re: Deir el Medineh spangenhelm - martijn.wijnhoven - 08-08-2007
I just bought Mahand Vogt's Spangenhelme. Baldenheim und verwandte Typen, which gives a description (if I am not mistaken as I do not have the copy at hand right now). I will later check what this book states about this helmet.
Best wishes,
Martijn
