"Continental classification helmet: Weisenau type - Niedermörmter / Guttmann faithful reconstruction, AG 800 "from the famous former Guttmann Axel Collection, which was dissolved a few years ago and sold at auction.

It is said that the discovery of the river comes from the Balkans, but the exact location is unknown.

After the figurative decorations, the helmet is also called "mouse and loaf".

While the typical loaf shape is known for the findings of a bakery in Pompeii, mouse or rat was a frequently encountered icon that occurred in lamps or knife handles.

The hull corresponds to a similar finding in the Lower Rhine city of Niedermörmter (Germany).

Compared to the previous models of "Weisenau", the neck protector is now particularly expansive, a response to the opponents of then and their armament.

The original absent cheeks were reconstructed in extensive investigations.
