These two imposing helmets with lyre-shaped horns were found in a warehouse in the late period of the Bronze age and was supposed to be reserved for ritual ceremonies. Stop arms, helmets Viks played on the front face with big eyes and crooked nose, on top, these fish are adorned with a plume set to a dividing slot. The metal is treated with the technique characteristic of the embossing rolls of the central and northern workshops. For this reason it is suspected that may have been luxury items imported into Denmark.
The entry into combat during the Late Bronze Age was made to guarantee survival. All military equipment was invented and technologically prepared for it. The swords left to split into the juncture of the blade with the handle to the first assails violent. Were withdrawn from circulation rivets antiquated swords in splicing, and designed a much more robust: the sword that holds the handle to the blade using a metal pin. Is this tongue in its haft, which is drilled to accommodate the handle of wood or bone. The sheet is also stronger by adopting a bay leaf profile very sharp, sharp tip. Generalize and circulate all the swords pistiliforme sheet language or carp. Warriors urnfield stunning round shields pregnant. We know, and so the specimens tested Clonbrin Irish (County Longford), Annandale (Leitrim) or Churchfield (County Mayo), sometimes the shields were made of leather. However, many bronze shields have been recovered from tombs and special deposits of Central Europe, Denmark and the British Isles, to demonstrate that the manufacture of the same response to a similar model, proven effective and therefore widely accepted. The shield is a circular plate, worked to hammer, with a central umbo, which fits the handle on the back. By embossing are arranged around the umbo, nerves concentric circles alternating with embossed areas (or "or studs). This design has decorative purposes, but also technical. The shield with ribs and rows of studs is a weapon stronger and resilient. The prototype had to be Central. The British Isles are large sample and use the expertise of its architects. Notable examples are the shields of Athenry (County Galway) in Ireland and Rhyd-y-Gorse, Wales. Danish bronze-smith workshops not only adopted the model in its original version, as shown by Mose Taarup shield, but it introduced changes Nordic stamp and seal. The coat of SØRUP, for example, shows a different back, incorporating a cross-shaped item in the tondo, without deviating from the established scheme. Others are unique Danish crowns adorned with circles of ridges and studs. And very special is the copy Nackhälle Swedish, in which the strings of studs bird motifs drawn in a row.
better equipped fighters entered the scene in real or ceremonial with good armor. Outstanding and very famous for its timing and because it discussed a hypothetical European precedent of Mycenaean armor is the Caka (Levice) in Slovakia. The piece was found in a niche of one of the well tombs covering a huge mound. Shells such as due to a pattern Caka instrumental in metal production, such weapons. The tradition of adopting the Western bronze-smith and from it produce splendid specimens of bronze armor. Up to nine shells were found between 1974 and 1976 at the site of Petit Marais Marmesse (Haute Marne). As in the shields, the rows of studs act of reinforcement and decorative lines. In Marmesse breastplates decorated reaffirms that the adjustment of the metal parts to support the human body anatomy. Metal trim adorn and reinforce the banks. Even tacking rivets are aesthetically integrated into the game art metal. Simple but impressive are the crest crested helmets, well represented in deposits of Bavaria, the French regions of Loire-et Oise and Cher and other Atlantic sites. One of them, recovered from a reservoir of the River Seine as it passes through Paris, may be indicative of technological assumptions that are built. Two bronze plaques are found and turned over along the backbone. Iron nails in the flanges would subject the lining to the leather. A double bevel base is the border town of weapon. The profiles of these pieces look the aesthetics of technology and this in turn will not be reluctant to produce eye-catching weapons, as well as functional.
is not known what the function of a couple helmets found in the marsh Brons in Viks, north of Zealand (Denmark), but obviously had to invest to respect and glory to its owner. Belong to the class of helmets with curved horns lyre-shaped. Its summit was adorned with a plume of feathers or other ornamental ridge, inserted into an open slot in the spine of downtown. This groove marks the meeting point between the two brass plates that form the hull, but its base emerges a curved hook, like a predatory beak. The metal plates are dotted with puffs, but the larger ones were placed, by way of an eye, below two arched lines in relief and between the said hook. Helmets are lined superhuman powers. The technical virtuosity of its manufacture should be commensurate with the rank of their audience and very determined to play a role.
We can only surmise that the Viks helmets served a religious ceremony. It has been postulated that the expert workshop that was left outside Denmark, Czechoslovakia, or in central Germany. Question difficult to prove. If so, it is likely that Viks helmets were not made to order, but would have gone to ground as gifts Nordic invested with a special social and religious significance.
