The helmet fragment is from the Zähringer Burgberg, one of if not THE mightiest Burgberg of the Alamanns, maybe associated with the Alaman king Gundomad mid 4th century. Its a cheek guard with a golden copper frame.
That pic is from the catalogue Die Alamannen, Stuttgart 1997, p. 107. Im sorry I dont have more information about it.
What do you or anyone think is the cheek guard I referred to from the Zähringer: is that part of an Intercisa style helmet? That would be quite interesting. For as far as I know there are no Intercisa helmets found in the Barbaricum (correct me If Im wrong) - a picture very different from the Spangelmet finds which are spread all over the Roman world and outside its limites.
