Greece, Classical Period, ca. 5th to 4th century BCE. A striking Chalcidian helmet comprised of hammered tinned bronze, so named as this helmet form was initially depicted on pottery believed to derive from the Euboean city of Chalcis. This form of helmet is distinguished by its curved cheekpieces, attached here by thin bronze pins that form a hinge. A teardrop-shaped nose guard extends down from raised curves demarcating the eyes. The forehead has a sweeping central ridge and an overhanging brow line. Curves on the sides allow the ears to be left open, improving battlefield communication. Uniquely, this example has incised square motifs on the exterior of its earflaps - these look like a personal touch, perhaps made by the helmet's original owner as an identification mark. Size: 10.45" L x 4.75" W x 9.75" H (26.5 cm x 12.1 cm x 24.8 cm); 17.35" H (44.1 cm) on included custom stand.During this time period, Greece was divided into city states who warred with one another and foreign powers like Persia. Alongside the remarkable artistic and philosophical achievements that we remember today, innovations in weaponry and armor changed the nature of war. The Chalcidian helmet was an improvement over the earlier Corinthian style, allowing improved hearing and vision. Mass production of bronze items like this helmet and shields led to the creation of the phalanx, a wave of intimidating shielded warriors marching side by side. Each helmet of this style was made to fit its wearer's head. The interior would have been lined with leather to serve as a cushion against blows (and against the uncomfortable metal rubbing on top of someone's head!). The owner would have hung the helmet in his home and would have been buried with it after his death. When worn, it probably had some kind of adornment like a feather comb. This style was still being worn by some soldiers, notably hoplites, during the time of Alexander the Great.Exhibited in "Dressed to Kill in Love and War: Splendor in the Ancient World", February 1 - March 31, 2019, Academy Art Museum, Maryland, USA, published in the exhibition guide by Sarah E.

Europe, Neoclassical, ca. 19th century CE. A very large and impressively carved sardonyx cameo depicting Athena (Roman Minerva), goddess of wisdom and war, depicted profile facing left, and mounted in a beautiful 16K+ gold brooch setting. Athena wears a fabulous helmet pushed up to the top of her head so as to release her long wavy locks of hair which cascade to her shoulders and also fall before her ear. The Apulo-Corinthian helmet presents a pronounced human mustachioed and bearded face in front and an impressive hippocamp swimming left on the dome. The head of a serpent, with its mouth openand tongue extended, rises from a rectangular holder. What's more, its segmented body resolves in long, wavy ribbon-like forms, similar to the goddess' tresses. In a word, this piece of wearable art is absolutely BREATHTAKING! Size: 2.125" H (5.4 cm); total weight: 36.9 gramsThe Apulo-Corinthian helmet has been found almost exclusively in southern Italy. It is based on the Greek Corinthian helmet, but was adapted in Italy in the late 6th to 4th century BCE. It was best known for being adorned with pronounced human visages in the front and real and mythical animals along the cheeks and sides. In addition, it usually had a long-tailed crest that rose above the dome.cf Berlin, antikenmuseum, inv. L 29 & L 30, published in Angelo Bottini et al, antike Helme (Mainz, 1988), cat. Nos. 39 & 40, pp. 420-423; for a drawing of this type of helmet with the pronounced crest, see Bottini, fig. 1, p. 108.

Classical World, Etruria, ca. late 4th to 3rd century CE. A heavy, one piece, cast bronze helmet, preserved in excellent condition with a deep, glossy patina. The form is a single bowl, cast, hammered, and chased, with engraving forming decoration around the rim and neck guard, giving an impression of twisted rope. A thin finial rises from the apex, its disc-shaped, flat terminal decorated with a low relief, many-petaled flower. A narrow band below this flat face is decorated with further repeated petal motifs. On the lower body, rivets and two narrow tubes (all bronze) show where cheek guards and hinges once were. There is also a rivet in the middle of the neck guard, which on the interior includes two hinged loops, made for attaching chin straps. The neck guard was formed by pulling the "bowl" shape of the helmet back, and as a consequence the helmet is thinner at the lower back of the head. Size: 9" W x 8.2" H (22.9 cm x 20.8 cm); 15.2" H (38.6 cm) on included custom stand.Helmets of this type originated with Celtic people north and west of the Italian peninsula, but the Etruscans and Romans adopted the style, with the former particularly using it from the 4th to 2nd centuries BCE. Roughly 400 of these helmets survive today in museums and private collections. They were overwhelmingly popular during the 3rd century BCE, when Roman hegemony and centralization of arms and armor production erased many of the individual styles of smaller northern Italian polities. Helmets of this type have been found in Etruscan and Roman graves and in river deposits far and wide, such as one in Nijmegen, Netherlands, found in a river near a legionary encampment, probably deposited as a gift to the gods. It was made to be worn high on the head, with padding inserted, designed to give protection from Celtic slashing swords.Exhibited in "Dressed to Kill in Love and War: Splendor in the Ancient World", February 1 - March 31, 2019, Academy Art Museum, Maryland, USA, published in the exhibition guide by Sarah E. Cox and Anke Van Wagenberg, fig. 36.See a very similar example found in a tomb in Perugia and now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/684492; see one with cheek guards remaining at the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=399845&partId=1&searchText=montefortino&page=1 Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; Exhibited in "Dressed to Kill in Love and War: Splendor in the Ancient World", February 1 - March 31, 2019, Academy Art Museum, Maryland, USA, published in the exhibition guide by Sarah E.

Central/Eastern Europe, Balkan Region (Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria), Celtic peoples, ca. early 1st millennium BCE. A well-preserved, curved, single-edged iron sword called a makhaira (machaira), also known as a sica, with a hammered flat tang studded with three iron sun ray-decorated bolts and a small pommel. It is accompanied by the sheath, which is cast from iron with decorative incised bands around its top and bottom and a flat, disc-shaped tip. The blade is wide below the thick tang before tapering to a point. Incised decorations on the surface show two birds - both of whom likely once had precious metal or stones inlaid as their bodies - and a sun-ray or sunburst motif between them, at the highest point of the blade when the dagger is held vertically. These incised motifs look very similar to ones on a machaira found in a grave alongside a sword and helmet at Montana in northwestern Bulgaria (see below for comparison). Size: 15.1" H (38.4 cm); 8.95" H (22.7 cm) on included custom stand.Curved, single-edged swords developed during the Bronze Age in southeastern Europe, with various groups around the eastern Adriatic coast using them. One notable example is from the late La Tene cremation burial at Most na Soci, Slovenia, where a cremation burial included a sword of this type, a spearhead, and a fibula. In that burial, the sword and fibula had both been ritually destroyed as most metal grave goods were by the Celts.See the similar example from Montana, Bulgaria, and several other similar examples from archaeological finds here: https://balkancelts.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/curved-sacrificial-daggers/ Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection Condition: Both items have oxidized patinas that have not obscured the details. The hilt and tip are lost from the dagger, while the sheath has a loss from its upper edge. Other small losses are visible elsewhere.

Provenance: from the collection of Sir Henry Norman (1858-1939) on display at Ramster Hall, Surrey, and thence by descent. Saotome Iehisa lived in the Hitachi province (today in the Ibaraki Prefecture, Honshu) and his is sometimes listed as the ninth generation of the Saotome family of armour makers. Sir Henry Norman (1858-1939) 1st Baronet Privy Councillor was an English journalist and Liberal politician. He worked as an editor for the Pall Mall Gazette and later the News Chronicle, becoming its Assistant Editor in 1895. In 1887, the Pall Mall Gazette sent him on an interviewing tour around the world. It was planned that his tour would last for at least six months, although he actually remained on tour for nearly four years, travelling through numerous countries including Canada, Japan, China, Korea, Siam and Malaya to name a few. As far as the history of the press was concerned, such a tour was an exceptional venture, and so Henry Norman's journey and the various newspaper articles he wrote during his travels garnered much attention. By the time he had returned to Britain in 1891, he had seen more of the world than most others of his generation or position and he used information collected throughout his tour to write two travel books about East Asia, both of which were enthusiastically received. In both The Real Japan and The Peoples and Politics of the Far East, he explores various aspects of these cultures and enthusiastically recounts his countless exciting experiences, many of which occurred during his time in Japan, Hong Kong and Beijing. In 1899, he retired as a journalist and subsequently became a Member of Parliament. He was knighted in 1906 and was made a baronet in 1915.
