Looking at the pictures of the Worms Italic D, I noticed something truly strange. There appear to be two brow ridges on the helmet. The top one is the one with the little regularly spaced nicks in it. It appears to be extremely thin. The bottom one is smaller but much thicker. It is quite simply bizarre.
A couple of possibilities come to mind. Perhaps the first ridge is decorative, and second ridge is for protection. Or maybe the second ridge was added by conservators to support the delicate upper ridge.
Does anyone have any ideas?
