EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Crosby Garrett helmet, a remarkable artifact from the late 1st-2nd century AD. Crafted in bronze, this cavalry parade helmet stands at an impressive height of 40.7 cm and is divided into two sections: the helmet itself and an intricately designed mask. Once worn during hippika gymnasia, or cavalry sports events, this ceremonial headpiece was not intended for combat but rather to exude grandeur and prestige. Its exquisite Phrygian style cap adorned with curls and a profile face mask featuring a majestic griffin symbolize power and strength. The Crosby Garrett helmet holds historical significance as it represents ancient Rome's military prowess and their dedication to elaborate ceremonies. In 2010, it made headlines when it was sold for an astounding GBP 2.3 million. In this photograph captured by eChristies Images, every intricate detail of the helmet is beautifully highlighted. The image allows us to appreciate its craftsmanship while transporting us back in time to witness the splendor of Roman youth parading in all their glory. Bridgeman Images brings forth this extraordinary piece through Fine Art Finder, reminding us of the rich heritage left behind by our ancestors who once donned such awe-inspiring armor on their heads as they marched proudly into battle or celebrated momentous occasions within their armed forces.
