A miniature cast bronze model of a Corinthian helmet, finished with a heavy artificially aged green and brown verdigris patina. The helmet displays the traditional features of the type, including almond-shaped eye apertures and an integral nose guard. The cheekpieces are embellished with low-relief decoration depicting stylised serpentine or zoomorphic motifs. The metal surface exhibits intentional pitting and texturing designed to replicate an excavated archaeological artefact. This piece serves as a decorative desk ornament or museum-style replica. A small adhesive paper label is adhered to the reverse.
Length: 14.5 cm.
