Nice helmet !....do you have any details of its provenace? It looks to be a Macedonian or Hellenistic Pilos type.......given the different shades/colour of the wings/horns, it may be that this decoration was added later and may not be 'original'. Perhaps the helmet fell into 'barbarian' hands ( Celtic perhaps? )....this is of course pure speculation without some sort of information on where it was found !
Are you making a point here?? :lol: :lol:
