Mostly I'm interested in actual examples!
I am able to announce now the contents of the upcoming publication of selected material ex Guttmann:
- chalcidian helmets with volutes
- "fire-crest"-helmets
- highly decorated piloi and an extraordinary phrygian helmet
- hellenistic piloi
appendix: construction and typology of attic helmets
Not covered will be the "Kegelhelme" (they're published in: H. Born - S. Hansen, Frühgriechische Bronzehelme), the illyrian and the corinthian ones (because the comprehensive publication of the helmets from Olympia is soon coming), the apulo-corinthians ( I simply don't like them). The other italo-chalcidian helmets will be mentioned briefly. Nevertheless, there will be around 70 new helmets ex Guttmann along with several other unpublished helmets of these types.
By the way, "Die Helme des Hephaistos", a richly illustrated book of manufacture-technics of greek helmets from Olympia written by the ex-curator of the Guttmann collection, Hermann Born (hopefully very soon also my advisor) is out now!
