Lot 71 | Pseudochalkidischer Bronzehelm mit Widderhörnern, nördlicher Schwarzmeerraum, 4. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 15 000
Die zweischalige Konstruktion mit Anklängen an späte chalkidische Helme ("Augenbrauen" und Nasal, bewegliche Wangenklappen) ist typisch für lokale Formen des nördlichen Schwarzmeerraumes. Die Zweiteiligkeit ist wohl ein Einfluss aus dem mittelasiatischen Raum und untypisch für mediterrane Helme dieser Zeitstellung.
Höhe mit Wangenklappen ca. 30 cm, ohne Wangenklappen 18 cm. Breite 20,5 cm. Länge 22,5 cm.
Provenienz: Ostdeutsche Privatsammlung.
Bipartite bronze helmet with form elements of Chalcidian helmets. The two halves of the calotte are riveted in the middle at irregular intervals of 1.5 - 4 cm. Above the smoothly held forehead, one rib each near the edges, extending over the crown to the back of the head. Between these ribs sit the rivets connecting the two halves. At the back of the head, the ribs curve slightly forward. Below them, under both ribs, an angular rib parallel to the course of the upper one. A stylised, curled ram's horn with angular ribs driven outwards on each side. In front, above the face, two outwardly driven, stepped and arched "eyebrows", which join in the middle to form an extremely shortened nasal. Behind this, the entire rim runs horizontally and is flanged outwards. In the front half of the helmet, a U-shaped cheek flap on each side, connected to the helmet by a five-piece tubular hinge. The second and fourth tubes from a rectangular hinge flap attached to the inside of the helmet with two rivets. The middle and outer tubes created by repointing the upper edge of the cheek flap inwards. Along the edge of the cheek flap inside a rib accompanying the edge. The inner surface decorated with a stag driven out from the inside. A small crescent-shaped face cut-out at the top front, a hole at the bottom for a latch strap. Beautiful dark green patina with scattered oxide deposits. Two pressure marks with small cracks on the ram's horns, another hairline crack on the left ram's horn. Otherwise an excellently preserved antique helmet.
The two-piece construction with echoes of late Chalcidian helmets ("eyebrows" and nasal, movable cheek flaps) is typical of local forms from the northern Black Sea region. The two-piece design is probably an influence from the Central Asian region and untypical for Mediterranean helmets of this period.
Height with cheek flaps ca. 30 cm, without cheek flaps 18 cm. Width 20.5 cm. Length 22.5 cm.
Provenance: East German private collection.
