Title: Staffordshire Helmet reconstructed
Post by: Maxi21 on November 27, 2018, 12:29 pm

I really should be working.....but here is another one.

Reconstruction of the Staffordshire Hoard Helmet https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-46291230 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-46291230)

Personally I would question the red 'mohican' style headpiece - it looks like the story book stylised pictures of what a Roman Centurion would wear. Surely naturally coloured horse or badger bristles would be more in keeping?
