Aitor & Razor!
I said DON'T hold your breath.
I cant find a better image sorry.]
That's just the thing. It's not on the helmet. It's on the cuirass!
It looks japanese!
If you look at this image:

and this diagram

you can see the neck guard that covers almost the entire back of the neck.
The one on the Constantine statue covers most of the back of the head!
It's wild.
At first I thought it was a head prop, not unlike the tree stumps near legs, but it has more definition than that. It's a feature of the armor.
It's very strange and I don't seem to have a picture! Darn!
