Among the most interesting objects in the Chini collection we find the Corinthian helmet from the second half of the 6th century BC, made of cast bronze and decorated with engraving. The shape and decoration of the work can be linked to the Apulian area: it probably comes from the Gioia del Colle area, where an aristocratic warrior class had attacked since the Archaic age. You can see a rich and refined decoration that follows the workmanship of the entire object: a marked stroke to represent eyebrows and edges, a much finer one for the other figurative elements.
