Title: Helmet Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Greek (South Italian) Place: South Italy (Place Created) Date: 400–375 B.C. Medium: Bronze Object Number: 92.AC.7.1 Dimensions: 19.4 × 22.5 × 29.8 cm (7 5/8 × 8 7/8 × 11 3/4 in.) Alternate Titles: Helmet with Engraved Decoration (Display Title) Department: Antiquities Classification: Armor Object Type: Helmet The helmet is Apulo-Corinthian in shape, a variation of the standard Corinthian type used in the Greek colonies in Apulia. On top, two rectangular attachments flank an M-shaped clamp, and these originally would have held horsehair crests, feathers, or metal animal horns. At the back, a neck guard takes the form of a narrow flange that projects from the body of the helmet. Low holes on either side of the helmet held a chinstrap, and a hole in the back may have been used to hang it for storage or display. The helmet has two small eye-holes and a descending nose-guard, but there is no separation between the cheekplates for the mouth. It is unlikely to have had a practical purpose on the battlefield, but rather served a ceremonial function instead. The surface is elaborately decorated: incised lotus buds spring from the outer corners of the eyes, while hanging ringlets fall from a hairline and turn into a chain of lotus buds on the sides of the helmet. A seated sphinx wearing a diadem, with one foreleg raised, occupies each cheekpiece, and two reclining satyrs flank a kantharos on the back. The satyr on the left lies with his right knee drawn up. He supports himself on his left arm, clasping his right knee with his right so his upper torso rotates and he looks back at the kantharos. The satyr on the right of the kantharos lies on his back with his feet towards it. He lifts himself on his left elbow, resting his right wrist on his raised right knee.

Title: Statue of a Victorious Youth Artist/Maker: Unknown Culture: Greek Places: Greece (Place Created) Europe (Place Found) Date: 300–100 B.C. Medium: Bronze with inlaid copper Object Number: 77.AB.30 Dimensions: 151.5 × 70 × 27.9 cm, 64.4108 kg (59 5/8 × 27 9/16 × 11 in., 142 lb.) Alternate Titles: Victorious Athlete "The Getty Bronze" (Display Title) Victorious Athlete (The Getty Bronze) (Display Title) State of an Athlete (Published Title) Department: Antiquities Classification: Sculpture Object Type: Male figure A naked youth stands with his weight on his right leg, crowning himself with a wreath, probably olive. The olive wreath was the prize for a victor in the Olympic Games and identifies this youth as a victorious athlete. The eyes of the figure were originally inlaid with colored stone or glass paste, and the nipples were inlaid with copper, creating naturalistic color contrasts. Found in the sea in international waters, this statue is one of the few life-size Greek bronzes to have survived; as such, it provides much information on the technology of ancient bronze casting. The origin of the statue is unknown, but either Olympia or the youth's hometown is possible. Romans probably carried the statue off from its original location during the first century B.C. or A.D., when Roman collecting of Greek art was at its height. The ship carrying it may have foundered, preserving the statue for centuries in the sea.
