Quote:What then, are all the other jewels supposed to be? Did people have 8 sets of eyes back then? My point is that there's an awful lot on that helmet then that represents nothing or something else that aren't eyes. If so, then what? Without clarification or justification it's not fair to say that those big ones in front are eyes and the jewels above them are eyebrows, given the rest of the decorations on the helmet.
I think that not all jeweled helmets need to have eyes and that this Berkasovo is toying with the idea of having eyes on the helmet in the appearance of jewels.
