Thank you.
If you look above I have included the information you reference as it is an unusual helmet. If there were not an ancient artifact found in situ I would not believe such a helmet was actually produced. In the cultural context of the time it makes sense as the Greeks were using metal helmets that appeared similar to their non-military hats.
Heres an ABE link to the book, its has 550 pages extensively illustrated mostly with first class drawing and B/W photos highly recommended for any one interested in Ancient Greek, Italian, Roman, Gallic etc etc helmets....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
