Description

4th-3rd century B.C. A tinned bronze Pontic helmet of Chalcidian type with the dome divided into two by a carinated ridge, the lower edge with cut-outs for ears and eyes with flared edges, short lanceolate nose-guard; fitted with removable cheek-pieces, each with a perforation for the chinstrap, short angular neck guard; accompanied by a custom-made display stand. See Ohly, D., Die ?gineten, Die Ostgiebelgruppe, Munich, 1976; Pflug, H., 'Chalkidische Helme' in: Antike Helme, RGZM Monographien 14, Mainz, 1988, pp.137-150; Chernenko, E.V., The Scythians 700-300 BC, Hong Kong, 1998; see similar helmets in Hixenbaugh, R., Ancient Greek Helmets, a complete guide and catalogue, New York, 2019, nos.X254-280. 945 grams, 30.5 cm high (2.16 kg total, 42.5cm high including stand) (12 in. (16 3/4 in.)). Private collection of Comte de Bressac, France. Sold in London after 1918. English private collection until the 1960s. Later in a London, UK, private collection. Accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.11532-195912. The Chalcidian type of ancient Greek helmets was essentially a lighter and less restrictive form of the Corinthian helmet. Later Chalcidian helmets had hinged cheek pieces that were anatomically formed to fit closely to the face. Representations of these helmets with articulated and raised cheek-pieces (type V) appear on the Attic vase paintings since the early 5th century B.C., although the first four typologies still show fixed elements for the face protection like in their Corinthian prototypes. Contemporary to these representations are the sculptures in the temple of Aphaia in Aegina, where these helmets are widely represented and where we can see first examples of such helmets with a short nose-guard (Hixenbaugh, 2019, p.209, fig.108). [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]
