wow ! ...it's really late construction of conical helmet - very popular between 7-10 th cen. in Near East some part of Easten Europe and some part of Asia
usually exemples made by 4 pieces are later than 8-pieces helmets...but just usually - it's not the law :wink:
I'm not sure of the dating ...but who knows..
....really interesting thing !
...there's no "Polish Great" style - this type is called "Chernichov type" or "Charnaya Mogyla type" or type II by Kirpichnikov .....from Poland we know only 5 helmets in this type from 10-11th cen....but this is not polish invention
