Included in this panoply is a Chalcidian helmet and an anatomical cuirass. The helmet features a carinated ridge around the rounded dome, rising to a peak above the forehead, horn-shaped eyebrows in raised relief and hinged cheek-pieces. The cuirass is formed of a breast- and backplate, originally joined by hinges, and modelled in the form of a muscular male torso.
For a similar anatomical cuirass with a wave pattern along its hinge-plates, found in Bari and thought to be Samnite in origin, see no. 7, p. 112 in P. Connelly, Greece and Rome at War.
