Casque hémisphérique en fer, apparemment... - Lot 18 - Pierre Bergé & Associés
Casque hémisphérique en fer, apparemment du Haut Moyen Âge allemand, partiellement reconstitué en forme de Bandhelm, peut-être Ve siècle. A hemispherical iron helmet, apparently Germanic Dark Ages, partially reconstructed in the form of a Bandhelm, possibly 5th century. The skull bowl-shaped and formed in two equal halves, the join now covered by a lateral iron band retained by pairs of flattened rivets, the base now encircled by a further iron band, and the interior of the skull retaining a single rivet for attaching a chinstrap. H.: 15.5 cm - L.: 22 cm - W.: 19.6 cm - Wt.: 2380 g. Helmets of this type were worn by the Germanic tribes of the post-Roman periods. Two examples are preserved in the Leibrüstkammer, Vienna (A 1998). See, THOMAS, Bruno & GAMBER, Ortwin, Katalog der Leibrüstkammer, vol. I, 1976, p.34, pl.2.
