Mycenaean helmets and armors

[Matthew Amt]

Khaire!

Since you seem to have posted most of Andrea Salimbeti's site, it might be better just to post a link to his site, eh?

While there are quite a few depictions of Mycenaean armor and helmets, there are far fewer physical remains. Many modern reconstructions involve a lot of guesswork--some experts don't even agree on whether a helmet was bronze or leather! It makes things challenging for reenactors, that's for sure.

Here's my own site:

Three helmets I have made include a boar tusk helmet, a bronze one based on the Warrior Vase, and a reconstruction of the Tiryns helmet.

The last one belongs to Dan Z., and he assembled the parts and did all the little triangular holes.

But yeah, come on over to the Bronze Age Center and join the fun!
