The Groningen spiky helmet text in German

[jho]

The helmet (without rim) is 13.5 cm high, approx. 31.4 cam long and approx. 19.8cm broad. The thickness of the iron sheet is approx. 0.1 cm. The upper part of the helmet, the helmet bowl or calotte, is approx. in the form of an elongated hemisphere and does not consist of six parts, as is suggested by its outward appearance, but actually, as has been mentioned, of seven parts (picture no. 4). It includes a simply lateral strip running through the whole helmet which tapers in the upper part and broadens "like a drawer" in the lower part.
