Quote:why are they placed so high up on the helmet?

They are as low as the helmet style allows.

Quote:Like Robert said, they may have been inspired by real eyes, or maybe the decorative work was changed to help differentiate the front and the back. But it's definately not enough to go on to say that they were supposed to be eyes.

They are eye shaped jewels, with eyebrows picked out in jewels .... it's definately enough to say that they represent eyes ....... if you accept that they were inspired by real eyes then what else could they be ??????

As soon as I have worked out how to posta picture I will do a poll ....its the only way Sad
