The cheek-pieces have been bent out, not an unusual feature for helmets deposited in sanctuaries.

I found an article about a very similar kranos that was for sale...
Calling it 'extremely rare...'
A magnificent bronze Corinthian helmet of the Lotus Flower Group, Greek circa 7th to 6th century BC. It is approximately 28 cm high by 19 cm wide at the crown.
This one has supposedly been restored by Mainz Museum.....
It is a real beauty......I hope it ends up in the correct and appreciative hands....
What do you make of the design engraved above the nasal on the first kranos....?
regards

The seventh century BC showd a renewed vigor in the cult of Apollo-the Sun god and the consept of the "solar warrior", the defender of light.
So we see he "solar wheel" and other Apollonian symbols on shields and armor. Here we see the LYRA (harp) of Apollo.
Kind regards

Philip said that the Athenians were like the bust of Hermes: all mouth and dick.

Greetings my lady...
All these photos, are taken by a Navy officer (friend of mine), that he's with his battleship in Italy, for NATO's manoeuvres.
He took these, in an Italian museum; didn't wrote me which one...
