The Agris Helmet (French: Casque d'Agris) is a ceremonial Celtic helmet from c. 350 BC that was found in a cave near Agris, Charente, France, in 1981.It is a masterpiece of Celtic art, and would probably have been used for display rather than worn in battle.The helmet consists of an iron cap completely covered with bands of bronze.The bronze is in turn covered with unusually pure gold leaf, with embedded coral decorations attached using silver rivets.One of the cheek guards was also found and has similar materials and designs.The helmet is mostly decorated in early Celtic patterns but there are later Celtic motifs and signs of Etruscan or Greek influence.The quality of the gold indicates that the helmet may well have been made locally in the Atlantic region.

  • Le casque d'Agris est un casque gaulois en fer, bronze, or, argent, et corail, découvert au cours d'une fouille légale en mai 1981 dans la grotte des Perrats à Agris en Charente, près de La Rochefoucauld sur le territoire d'un peuple celte dont le nom reste inconnu (désigné par commodité Écolismiens, d'après le nom de sa capitale Ecolisma sous le Bas-Empire romain). Sa fabrication est datée du second quart du IVe siècle av. J.-C.. Légèrement restauré, il est exposé au musée d'Angoulême. Les techniques mises en œuvre, les matériaux et procédés de décoration et leur mise en forme, font du casque d'Agris une illustration des solides relations à longue distance et des courants d'échanges traversant l'Europe, le monde balkanique et le monde étrusque et grec, échanges qui constituèrent les moteurs de mutations affectant l'extrême occident de l'Europe pendant l'Âge du fer.

Attualmente è esposto nel di Angoulême. (it)
