Quote:Mm, different to a ridge helm, the bowl itself was made overlapping plates with the decorative foils lying over the top, rather than two halves held in plAce by a ridge.How did the plates connect on top of the helmet? Ridge helmets could be two halves indeed, but the Burgh Castle type (including the Deurne and the Berkasovo I) consisted of 6 plates, the middle one overlapping the other two.
