Two bronze helmets

Two bronze helmets. Culture: Greek, Cretan. Dimensions: H. (1989.281.49): 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm) H. (1989.281.50): 8 1/4 in. (21 cm). Date: late 7th century B.C.. These helmets and the three mitrai exhibited below them are the finest pieces of a large cache of armor that came to light in southern central Crete, where it was undoubtedly made. The inscriptions suggest that the armor was captured as booty and offered as a dedication. In repoussé on both sides of one helmet is a pair of winged youths grasping a pair of intertwined snakes. Below them are two panthers with a common head. The helmet is inscribed "Neopolis." In repoussé on both sides of the other helmet is a horse; incised on each cheekpiece is a lion. The inscription states that Synenitos, the son of Euklotas, took this object.
