Abstract
The mask and the helmet were cleaned with acetone and coated with a nitrocellulose lacquer. A system of fiberglass polyester resin pads and tubes was constructed to hold the pieces in position on a carved wooden base. The object was completed with plasticine; missing decorations were remodelled. An electrotype reproduction was made for study purposes. See also 16-194. -- AATA
