Quote:I am now curious to know which features are indicative of the Intercisa type in this case. Can you enlighten me?
The helmet is clearly a mix of several styles.
I would say the cheek guards mainly make it an Intercisa. A Berkasovo (not Kosovo) would also be a good name, but the cheek pieces are different, much larger and enclosing the side of the head. Most Intercisas don’t have a nasal of course, but the Burgh castle has more segments forming the bowl. This helmet also has hinge protectors, which are not an Intercisa feature. On the other hand, the ridge reminds me much more of an Intercisa I than of the Berkasovo, which has a raised ridge…
Yes, I think that you could call it a Berkasvo II.
