They were constructed both ways; earlier helmets appear to have the scales imbricated downwards, while many surviving Scythian examples have the scales imbricated upwards; either configuration would work well. They were the most expensive helmets available in the Bronze Age in the Near and Middle East, being reserved for elite charioteers, as they were such a pain in the posterior to construct.
