Spartan Helmet Pendant – 925 Sterling Silver

Ancient Greek officer’s helmet from the famous city of Sparta.

Sparta or Lacedaemon was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece in south-eastern Peloponnese. Spartan hoplites were often depicted bearing a transverse horsehair crest on their helmet, which was possibly used to identify officers. In the Archaic period, Spartans were armored with flanged bronze cuirasses, leg greaves, and a helmet, often of the Corinthian type.
