Veksø helmets, Bronze Age helmets at National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Two bronze helmets featuring bull-like curved horns and decorative elements resembling bird eyes and beaks are displayed in room 12.
Workers discovered these ceremonial helmets during peat extraction at Brøns Mose in Zealand during 1942, marking a substantial archaeological finding.
These helmets from 900 BC represent early European metal craftsmanship and were likely used in religious ceremonies before being placed in bogs.
The National Museum of Denmark presents these artifacts alongside explanatory panels detailing their construction methods and historical context.
Scientific analysis revealed traces of birch tar on the horns, indicating advanced decoration techniques during the Nordic Bronze Age period.
