Celtic chieftain’s bird helmet! An astounding military helmet from some 2,200 years ago! The bird’s wings are hinged so that they flapped when the wearer moved! From Ciumești, Satu Mare County, Romania 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a remarkable helmet of a Celtic warrior chieftain dated c. 250-175 BC. The helmet body is made of iron, now brown in colour, with some fragments missing. On top of the helmet perches a large bronze bird of prey, now greenish-grey in colour, with outstretched wings made of sheet bronze. The wings are attached to the bird’s body by hinges, allowing them to flap up and down when the wearer moved, likely suggesting flight. There are coral-red and white enamel inserts in the eyes. There is a modern blue support frame beneath the wings and a modern blue replica beak for display purposes. It was found in a warrior’s grave at Ciumești in Romania, in 1961. Other military equipment amongst the grave goods of the Celtic warrior’s tomb included an iron coat of chainmail and two of its bronze appliques, two bronze greaves and an iron spearhead, as well as clothing accessories (an iron fibula and iron belt buckle) and two pottery vessels (a biconical vase and a bowl).
