Greek Bronze Chalcidian Helmet, ex-Sotheby's

Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, Adriatic Sea region, ca. 5th to 4th century BCE. A striking Chalcidian helmet comprised of hammered bronze, so named as this helmet form was initially depicted on pottery believed to derive from the Euboean city of Chalcis. The Chalcidian helmet was created in order to improve upon the Corinthian helmet, as its design allowed for better vision and hearing. In addition, it was much lighter and less cumbersome than other Greek helmets, and distinguished by curved cheek pieces. Custom stand. Size: 8.75" H (22.2 cm); 13.625" H (34.6 cm) on included custom stand.

The design of Chalcidian helmets consisted of a hemispherical dome with a medial ridge, a contoured V-shape above the brow continuing as an occipital rib around the form, and pronounced brows as we see in this example; beneath this were a pair of cheek pieces and a continuous narrow, flared neck guard at the rear. Interestingly, Chalcidian helmets continued to be worn by warriors through the era of Alexander the Great; spear wielding Hoplites in particular favored Chalcidian helmets. Scholars believe that the Chalcidian helmet later developed into the iconic Attic helmet of classical warriors.

Chalcidian helmets may be found in elite museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the British Museum.
