It offers a comparison for the Marine Helmet’s overall facial arrangement and scale-like decoration. “Marine” is the Archaeopolis series name; a precise ancient naval attribution is not established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-historical-reference=\"scaled-helmet-louvre-g179\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHistorical reference: helmet on an Athenian vase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:20px 0\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/collections.louvre.fr\/en\/ark:\/53355\/cl010270066\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.hellenicarmors.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/corinthian-helmet-00016.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of an Athenian vase showing a scale-patterned helmet with a lion on its cheek guard, Louvre G 179, around 480 BCE\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:600px;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:auto\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.9em;line-height:1.6;margin-top:12px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAthenian red-figure hydria (kalpis), around 480 BCE.

The painted helmet also has a large crest, whereas the Marine Helmet has paired winged griffins and a different crown arrangement. This is an ancient visual comparison, not a confirmed exact prototype; the painted scale pattern alone does not establish how an ancient helmet was constructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003ch2\u003eObject documentation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design concept and aesthetic direction belong to Georgios Katsos and Archaeopolis.
