This resin reproduction was cast from a mold of an original Greek helmet in the Antiquities Collection at the Getty Villa dated from about 350-300 B.C.

With its extensive decoration, this helmet is more likely to have served as a ceremonial function. The helmet includes a griffin on the crest, flanked by wings above the ears, and spring like coils inside the wings which would have held feather plumes. The top of the helmet features a diadem and locks of hair surrounding it and the cheekpieces are decorated with strands of a beard.
