Was this helmet covered with organic material? hock:
Is this helmet published anywhere?

There is a lot of mineralised leather on top of it. Probably it was in a leather bag, or just maybe we're looking at the remains of a leather helmet cover. We know they existed from the texts of several ancient authors (Caesar mentiones covers for example).
