Lot 1 | Spitzhelm aus Bronze, altassyrisch (oder urartäisch), 8. - 7. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Estimate value
€ 10 000
Nicht deformierter, vollständig erhaltener Helm mit annähernd kegelförmiger Kalotte und zwei zungenförmigen Wangenschutzblechen. Der Helm inklusive der Wangenschutzbleche wurde aus einem kreissegmentförmigen Bronzeblech hergestellt. Die kegelförmige Spitze ist vom leicht nach außen gewölbten Unterteil der Kalotte abgesetzt. Ca. 5 - 8 mm oberhalb der Unterkante des Helms befinden sich ringsherum Löcher im Abstand von ca. 2 - 2,5 cm, die der Befestigung eines nach außen umgebördelten Helmfutters dienten. Die ehemalige Breite des umgebördelten Helmfutters ist außen teilweise durch Streifen von Oxyden gut erkennbar. Auf der Hinterseite wurden die überlappenden Enden des Blechs durch vier senkrecht eingesetzte Blechstreifen verbunden, die durch je zwei schmale Schlitze gezogen sind. Oberhalb des zweiten Schlitzpaares befinden sich zusätzlich zwei runde Löcher, durch die wohl einst organisches Material gezogen wurde.
Der Helm besitzt eine glänzende Patina, die an einzelnen Stellen den bronzenen Untergrund durchschimmern lässt und die partiell mit Oxydflecken und leichten Inkrustationen überzogen ist. Einzelne Risse und Bruchstellen am Rand und in der Kalotte sind von innen her stabilisiert bzw. ohne Fehlstellen wieder zusammengefügt. Höhe 36 cm. Formgleiche Helme sind auf Reliefs aus dem Ninive der Zeit Assurbanipals (669 - 627 v. Chr.) dargestellt.
Dazu ein hochwertiger Ständer aus Metall.
Provenienz: Ostdeutsche Privatsammlung.
Non-deformed, completely preserved helmet with an approximately conical calotte and two tongue-shaped cheek guards. The helmet including the cheek guards was made of a circular-segment-shaped bronze sheet. The conical tip is set off from the slightly outwardly curved lower part of the calotte. Approximately 5 - 8 mm above the lower edge of the helmet there are holes all around at a distance of approx. 2 - 2.5 cm, which served to fasten a helmet lining flanged to the outside. The former width of the flanged helmet lining is partly visible on the outside through strips of oxides. On the rear side, the overlapping ends of the sheet metal were connected by four vertically inserted sheet metal strips, each drawn through two narrow slots. Above the second pair of slots there are two additional round holes through which organic material was probably once drawn. The helmet has a shiny patina, which allows the bronze background to shimmer through in places and which is partially covered with oxide stains and light incrustations. Individual cracks and fractures on the rim and in the calotte have been stabilised from the inside or rejoined without missing parts. Height 36 cm. Similar helmets are depicted on reliefs from Nineveh during the time of Assurbanipal (669 - 627 B.C.).
Comes with a high-quality metal stand.

Provenance: Eastern German private collection.
