What the ... hock:
Is this one published?
Not that I know of - I photographed this in the Volos Archaeological Museum.
By the way, I think these two representations of helmets look fairly similar to that helmet from Athens:

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
