拍品专文

It is thought that these fragments are the cheekpieces to a helmet which, after death, were reused and attached to a mirror case.

Cf. D. Gordon Mitten and S. F. Doeringer, Master Bronzes from the Classical World, Mainz, 1967, p. 116, no. 113, for a Greek relief plaque with satyr from a helmet cheekpiece or cuirass shoulder guard.
