Late Roman Helmet Deurne-Berkasovo Variant II

[markusaurelius]

Reproduced by Matt Lukes as his first attempt at a Late Roman helmet. The piece was copied directly from the helmet shell fragments in my collection, including the fine details (size of decorations, spacing, size of cheek and neck guards etc.) It is now an accurate display of what the original could have looked like.

Made with an iron core and a Copper sheathing (to save $$). The sheathing was then silvered and the gold plated! Perhaps a first for recreated helmets of this type?? In either case the end result if a beautiful helmet, with an authentic look. Matt also made sure to keep many of the variances of the originals in place, including the many errors and worker mistakes seen on so many of these hand made items.

I hope you enjoy!

P.S any dark spots you see are my camera lens (wow its hard to photograph something that shiny)
