Chalcidian Helmet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Chalcidian Helmet by an unknown artist. The helmet is made of metal and has a dark patina. It is shaped like a dome with a slight curve at the top and a flat faceplate. Two eye holes and a nose hole are cut out of the front. The eye holes are rounded and positioned on either side of the nose hole. A decorative strip runs along the edge of the faceplate, featuring small bumps. Two cheek plates hang from the sides, each adorned with a pattern of concentric circles. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
