Commentary

Since Pini seems to have taken objects also from Pianezzo to compose the inventories of the "graves" 234-298 (Tori et al. 2004: 27-28) the object may actually have been found there.
For helmets of the same typology, see also Ebert 1924-32: Volume 5, p. 293, Taf. 89, and Egg 1988, p. 472ff.
