Helmet
Unknown Artist
The helmet, originally lined with leather, consists of broad bands of bronze and iron plates covered witha thin layer of silver, stamped with a feather pattern. The warrior's head would originally have been obscured and protected by a web of metal links of mail that hung from the holes in the lower rim.
