This elaborate conical helmet has a separately-made neck-guard soldered to the back of the offset rim. Notable embellishments include a spiral plume-holder at the peak, three snake-headed, coiled plume-holders rivetted on the sloping dome, and two wings with incised overlapping feathers and tubular plume-holders at the join. Below the central coiled plume is a silver rosette plate supporting a suspension ring. Centered on the carinated ridge is a gorgoneion applique, flanked by small silver lion-griffin appliques.
For another helmet with wings and snake-headed coiled plume-holders but of a Chalcidian type, see no. W 24a, pp. 55-56 in D. Cahn, Waffen und Zaumzeug.
