beskrivelse:

Horned helmet found in the River Thames at Waterloo Bridge, known as the "Waterloo Helmet", now in the British Museum. Tag on exhibit reads: "Horned helmet, found in the River Thames at Waterloo Bridge, London 150-50 BC. Originally this helmet would have been a gleaming golden color and decorated with red glass studs. The helmet is unlikely to have been used in battle and was probably a form of ceremonial headress. The helmet is a very rare find, it is the only Iron Age horned helmet to be found in Europe. The helmet is made from sheet bronze sections held together with bronze rivets. The raised decoration is repeated on the back and front of the helmet. The decoration on the helmet is similar to the Great Torc from Snettisham, on display in case 19 in this gallery. Gift of the Port of London Authority. P&E 1988,1004.1" See BM database entry for details.
