This print showcases an exquisite Apulian helmet from the 4th century BC, adorned with intricate details that transport us back to ancient Greece. The bronze helmet features a striking medusa head at its center, her serpentine locks flowing and her gaze petrifying all who dare to look upon her. Surrounding this fearsome figure is a mesmerizing depiction of a dog engaged in combat with a formidable boar. The craftsmanship of this Italic artwork is truly remarkable, reflecting the skill and artistry of its creators. Every curve and line on the helmet has been meticulously carved, bringing life to these mythological characters and capturing their eternal struggle for dominance. Housed in the Museo Archeologico in Bari, Apulia, Italy, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Italy.
