Sao - Lot 136
Sao Bronze helmet with an excavation patina. This is the second known example of this style. It consists of a hemispherical helmet topped by twenty-three blades with slightly rounded tips, decorated in relief with serpentine motifs. A magnificent piece crafted using the lost-wax casting technique, evoking ancient Greece or the Roman legions. Four holes in the lower central section were likely used to secure the helmet. H. 19 cm, W. 31 cm
