Viking Varangian Russian Slavic helmet Gnezdovo 10th century made of 1.6 mm

This reproduction is inspired by an original found in the 10th century in a Slavic-Viking settlement called Gnezdovo near Smolensk in present-day Russia. Many typical Scandinavian artefacts were found together with this helmet, making it a good choice for anyone wishing to recreate a figure of an East Viking, Varangian, Russian or Slav. However, this helmet is not suitable if you want to represent a West Viking raiding England. More information...
