Abstract

Abstract This article is devoted to the find of a unique forged iron helmet from the Filippovka-1 Burial-ground of the Early Sarmatian culture, in the steppe near the southern foothills of the Urals. The helmet was found in a fragmentary state and was later restored. Analysis of the shape, manufacturing technology and specific features of its construction was carried out. Like the other finds from the burial, the helmet was dated to the 4th century bc. It is most probable that it was made by a craftsman who belonged to a nomadic population and was ordered so as to resemble bronze specimens.
