A strange silver mask from the Thorsberg bog

[Caratacus]

Just to add a little bit to my earlier post, this 'helmet' turned up in an exhibition staged in Copenhagen in 2003. The catalogue for this exhibition shows the helmet but without the 'hair net'. It does mention that the decoration on the helmet included gilding in places. Obviously an expensive item that was once owned by someone of consequence.
