Bronze Cheekpiece of a Helmet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008

Bronze Cheekpiece of a Helmet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, December 2008
Bronze Cheekpiece of a Helmet
Roman, late 2nd century AD

Accession # 1986.11.13

This left cheekpiece is decorated with the figure of Victory bearing a trophy. It probably belongs to an officer's helmet, since its ornate workmanship would accord with the owner's high rank.
