hello
in Osprey there's wrong interpretation of the age for this mask
the basic stuff are about 8 or 6 masks from Konsantynopol (Great Palace) ...but as I know this stuff is dated by the coin - was found near masks "in situ" ...it's probobly 12-13th cen. ....but there's teorie the masks are erlyer - 8-11th. cen.
below pictures of oryginal ...and my rekonstruction of the helmet with this mask (also here :http://photofile.name/users/nieczar/2547324/80949918/#mainImageLink)
