The original image is a repousse cover on what is known as the "Silver Shrine of Charlemagne." It's dated c. 1207 and was made in Lower Lotharingia (Northwestern Germany). It's currently in the Museum Treasury at the Aachen Cathedral.

Mac, this is a beautiful reconstruction! Can you PM me with a price for a helmet like this? I am very curious...

I sawed the holes for eyes by grinder.
The corner of eyes are polished decoration by file.
