This Chalcidian helmet has an encircling carinated ridge that peaks above the M-shaped face-guard, with a conforming double band below the peak and stylized wings rivetted above. The attachment plates for the hinged cheek-guards are serrated along their upper edges. The ear openings have an embossed band arching above that terminates in a spiral at the back edge of the flaring neck-guard.

Contemporary depictions of Italic warriors – Lucanian, Samnite and Oscan – wearing similar helmets are well known from vases and tomb paintings. See for example the warrior on a Campanian red-figured neck-amphora, no. 278 in A.D. Trendall, Red Figure Vases of South Italy and Sicily, and the combat scenes from Tomb X at Laghetto, Paestum, pl. 63 in A. Pontrandolfo, et al., Die Tomba del Tuffatore und weitere Gräber mit Wandmalereien in Paestum.
