Lot 27 | Illyrischer Helm mit Merkmalen korinthischer Helme der Lamia-Gruppe, 5. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 9 000
Später illyrischer Helm der dritten Stufe mit einem geschwungenen Grat, der den oberen Teil der Kalotte markant absetzt, ähnlich korinthischen Helmen der Lamia-Gruppe. Durch diesen Grat wird vorne ein Stirngiebel gebildet, in dessen unterem Abschnitt nahe dem Rand ein Niet zur Befestigung des Helmbusches sitzt. Die Wangenschirme markant weit nach unten und vorne gezogen und leicht nach außen schwingend, ähnlich den korinthischen Helmen der genannten Gruppe. Das Gesichtsfeld wie für illyrische Helme typisch rechteckig ausgeschnitten, hier mit einem glatten Rand, der jedoch durch ein fein eingeritztes ionisches Kymation verziert ist, das sich auch entlang der Unterkanten der Wangenschirme weiterzieht. Zwischen den Wangenschirmen und dem nach hinten ausgestellten Nackenschirm ein markanter, spitzer Einzug. Entlang des Scheitels der Kalotte, beginnend und endend mit dem markanten Grat, zwei parallele Wülste, die einerseits die Kalotte stabiler machen und andererseits der Aufnahme des Helmbusches dienten.
Höhe ca. 26 cm. Breite ca. 17 cm. Kleine Risse an der Unterkante des rechten Wangenschirms. Brüche und Risse von innen her stabilisiert. Geringfügige Ergänzungen am Hinterteil der oberen Kalotte, sonst hervorragend erhaltene Originalsubstanz mit grüner Patina und leichten Inkrustationen.
Ausgesprochen schöne und optisch attraktive Mischform eines griechischen Helmes.
Provenienz: Österreichische Privatsammlung.
Late Illyrian helmet of the third stage with a curved ridge that distinctively sets off the upper part of the calotte, similar to Corinthian helmets of the Lamia group. This ridge forms a frontal gable at the front, in the lower section of which, near the rim, is a rivet for fastening the crest. The cheekpieces distinctively drawn far down and forward and slightly swinging outwards, similar to the Corinthian helmets of the aforementioned group. The facial field is cut out rectangularly, as is typical of Illyrian helmets, here with a smooth rim, which is, however, decorated by a finely incised Ionic cymation, which also continues along the lower edges of the cheekpieces. Between the cheek guards and the backwards flared neck guard, a prominent pointed indentation. Along the crown of the calotte, beginning and ending with the prominent ridge, two parallel ridges, which on the one hand make the calotte more stable and on the other hand served to hold the crest.
Height approx. 26 cm. Width approx. 17 cm. Small cracks on the lower edge of the right cheek piece. Fractures and cracks stabilised from the inside. Minor completions to the back of the upper calotte, otherwise excellently preserved original substance with green patina and light incrustations.
An exceptionally beautiful and visually attractive mixed form of a Greek helmet.
Provenance: Austrian private collection.
Place of origin:Ancient Greece
