The front of the helmet is richly decorated with embossed palmettes, volutes and serpents. The design represents the transition phase between the early and late Corinthian helmet types, which are sparingly decorated in comparison. For closely related examples, see A. Bottini, et al., eds., Antike Helme, abb. K 36 and 38-39.
