Greek helmet crests:Question.
#16
I have dyed horsehair crests, but I have to admit to using modern dyes which require steeping the hair in a warm/hot solution for a while over a heat source such as a cooker hob!

Word of advice...Don't get caught using the wifes best cook pots for this!! :oops:

For those who are searching for images of hoplites on the net i strongly recommend, the Perseus project

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/

and the Beazley Collection

http://163.1.48.106/BeazleyAdmin/Script2/default.htm

Finding images is not easy, but once you have become familiar with these sites they have a wealth of photographic and written sources.

so do you believe that using ancient technics of dying would produce crests with impressive colors as yellows, blues, hues of red? or by he means of the time that would be impossible?
