Pure bronze Corinthian mini helmet with Goddess Athena and Pegasus carvings

Description: CORINTHIAN MINI BRONZE HELMET WITH ATHENA AND PEGASUS This is a smaller size replica of an ancient Corinthian style helmet made with bronze material like the originals. The Corinthian helmet type is one of the most immediately recognizable types of helmet, romantically associated with the great heroes of Ancient Greece, even by the Ancient Greeks themselves who rapidly moved to helmet types with better visibility, but still depicted their heroes in these helmets. It was a helmet made of bronze which in its later styles covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the eyes and mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck.Out of combat, a Greek hoplite would wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort. Originals of these can be seen in museums across the world, but the prototypes are in the Olympia museum in Greece. Athena, daughter of Zeus, was the goddess of intelligence, wisdom, resourcefulness and strategic thought. She was also the protectress of women, female crafts, the poetic symbol of reason and purity. Athena the patron goddess of the city Athens was very important to the Greeks, since they named her the Iliad’s goddess of fight, the warrior-defender, the protector of civilized life. All our bronze items, are cast in Greece, using the traditional 'lost wax' method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in patination and colouring. Each piece is, therefore, unique.(262043133301-B)Details:Condition: New, Handmade in GreeceMaterial: Pure BronzeHeight: 11.5 cm(4.5 inches)Width: 6 cm(2.3 inches)Weight: 500 g
