Depeeka horn helmet

[hoplite14gr]

Europa Militaria no 6 "The Vikings in color photgraphs" has a reconstructed horn helmet on page 30. It associates it with eastern horse archers.
The is also a Russian book about the "battle of Kulikovo" by some Sergei Tarasov that has some obscure photos from a museum in the south Volga area in its references. They depict horn helmets.
Horn armor is usually associated with Step cultures especially in horse barding.
The interpertation that the helmet was a child's toy is not impossible either but in my opinion it was based on the real world of grown ups.
Kind regards
