Sassanian helmet

[Robert Vermaat]

Hope you don't mind if I chime in here (a year after the last post)

Not at all. :wink:

On Sogdian helmets, it seems that the cheek plates are constructed of overlapping B-shaped lames, and you see horizontal lines. The vertical lines on the Kulagysh plate could represent the leather straps holding these B-shaped lames in position. Although - all credit to Patryk - I really can't see why the cheek plates would be raised.

So we would be looking at Turks rather than Sassanid Persians? Do we have an image of this helmet to post here?
