Item Details
Description
Ca. 400 BC.A bronze pilos helmet, in the form of a conical, brimless bronze cap with hinged cheekpieces. The Pilos helmet takes its name from a felt cap of similar shape, often illustrated in depictions of herdsman and other outdoor workers. During the 5th-3rd centuries B.C., the type was popular because of its high level of functionality and ease of production. Pilos helmets show the evolution towards lighter and more flexible gear, with greater ability to breathe, see and hear without the faceplates of the earlier Corinthian type. Their simple conical design was also more economical and easier to construct. By the late 4th century, many were equipped with cheek guards and a flaring neck guard, as seen here.Size: L:290mm / W:225mm ; 700gProvenance: Property of an European collector; formerly in Ing. P. Till collection till 1999; previously bought in Vienna in 1971.
