Probably an electrotype the RGZM in Mainz is very good at making them, I remember a copy of an elaborate Celtic helmet from Agris, Charente, France that I saw there:
The original?....

The label on the one at RGZM said it was a copy but I couldn't tell..... still I wouldn't want to go to a museum that relied solely on such things as the intention would be to see the original work... after all you wouldn't what to go to see a copy of the Mona Lisa.... would you?

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
