The rich decoration of this helmet is exceptional, covering it completely with wide bands of chiseled and punched floral designs alternating in silver and gold. Although it was once believed that its neck plate, cheekpieces, plume holder and lining were later restorations, futher study has confirmed that they are genuine and original to the helmet.
