KOMA-BUILSA STYLE METAL HELMETS, Ghana
Despite their appearance, we believe these helmets are 20th C. casts made to be sold.
Little is known of the Koma-Builsa civilization (ca. 13th-19th centuries). Most of the objects dug up are terra cotta heads or vessels or metal artifacts such as these helmets.
