Quote:As for the helmet on the Sidon stele, I would have to disagree with you... I think it is related to the Attic/Thraco-Attic type, but it is its own distinct type, since it has A) no frontlet/volutes, B) a very prominent visor, and C) a "boxy" or wide crest.
You're right, yes, but it's the closest parallel in art that I am aware of!
