Lot 26 | Korinthischer Helm der frühen zweiten Stufe, Mitte bis 2. Hälfte 7. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 18 000
Bronzehelm der zweiten Stufe des Typs mit noch völlig gerundeten Formen und ohne Andeutung einer abgesetzten Kalotte. Die Seitenwände der Kalotte kaum eingezogen, dafür aber zum Rand hin markant nach außen ausladend, was ebenso für den Wangen- und den Nackenschutz gilt. Die Seitenwände mit dem typischen, noch sehr stumpfwinkligen Einschnitt bzw. Zwickel zwischen Nacken- und Wangenschutz versehen. Die Wangenschirme noch nicht deutlich bzw. spitz nach vorne und unten ausgezogen. Schmale Augenöffnungen mit einem langen Nasenschirm. Rings um den gesamten Rand inklusive Wangenschirmen, Augenöffnungen und Nasenschirm eine Reihe aus eng gesetzten, feinen Löchern. In den unteren Winkeln der Wangenschirme je ein größeres Loch. Mittig auf der Stirn ein großes Loch und im hinteren Teil der Kalotte ein kleineres Loch, welche der Aufnahme von Vorrichtungen zur Befestigung eines Helmbusches dienten. Geringfügige Ergänzungen im hinteren Teil der Kalotte, einige Brüche und Risse von innen her gefestigt. Sonst hervorragend erhaltene Originalsubstanz mit leicht fleckiger dunkelgrüner Patina. Höhe ca. 20 cm. Breite unten ca. 22 cm. Länge unten ca. 29,5 cm.
Ausgesprochen eindrucksvolles Beispiel eines korinthischen Helms der frühen zweiten Stufe, der seine markante Wirkung vor allem aus den stark nach außen gezogenen unteren Rändern bezieht.
Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung, gekauft von einem anderen Sammler, der das Stück in den 90er Jahren auf einer Kunstmesse erworben hatte.
Bronze helmet of the second stage of the type with still completely rounded forms and no hint of a stepped calotte. The side walls of the calotte are barely recessed, but protrude outwards towards the rim, which also applies to the cheek and neck protectors. The side walls are provided with the typical, still very obtuse-angled incision between the neck and cheek guards. The cheek guards not yet clearly or pointedly extended forwards and downwards. Narrow eye openings with a long nasal. Around the entire rim including cheek guards, eye openings and nasal a row of closely set, fine holes. A larger hole in each of the lower angles of the cheek guards. A large hole in the centre of the forehead and a smaller hole in the rear of the calotte, which served to accommodate devices for attaching a crest. Minor additions to the rear part of the calotte, some fractures and cracks strengthened from the inside. Otherwise excellently preserved original substance with slightly spotty, dark green patina. Height approx. 20 cm. Width at the bottom ca. 22 cm. Length at the bottom ca. 29.5 cm.
A very impressive example of a Corinthian helmet of the early second stage, which derives its striking effect above all from the strongly outwardly drawn lower rims.
Provenance: South German private collection, purchased by another collector who had acquired the piece at an art fair in the 90s.
Place of origin:Ancient Greece
