I'm a sculptor, mainly 28mm but I have done a large portion of the Xyston 15mm range, in particular the early Persians.

The image of a ram on the cheekpieces is well within the Iranian mythology and sacred imagery. So perhaps it was made for a Saka?Persian warrior after a Greek example and modified a bit etc.Dario T.

Interesting how the cheekguards remind me of a chacidian officer helmet. (the image of a ram's head) Even the "brows" are similar. <br /><br />Would you say it's a Persian imitation of a Greek design?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852127435931262360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466337662455429678.post-16428308109112611552011-07-12T11:38:44.810-06:002011-07-12T11:38:44.810-06:00Salve Jan,
