Quote:If not eyes then why the eye brows on teh one on the right ?Nice one Conal, but if you start taking those decoration literally, it also means this helmet has 'eyes in the back of his head'!!
That's why I see this as decoration, no more than that. Maybe the eyes were an inspiration, but I really think they were no longer meant to depict real eyes like those on an Intercisa.
