Hi Victor

Are you sure that this helmet (archaic Athene type with sharp protrusion) is laureate?

Please, compare it with these helmets:







I think that there is only plain (or sometimes decorated) 'band' under the upper part of the helmet, which is more convex.

I am not completely sure, as it is obscured under the dirt.
