Thanks Holly
I read the bit "Adding to the importance of the find, archaeologists also discovered a treasure trove of ancient weapons, including spears and knives, in the same Croatian grave."
Then I read the bit, "unfortunately, his bones were found in a "rather poor condition," according to the archaeologists."
And those, blow the bones, what sort of shape is the bronze work  :-[

I'm not sure why they think the helmet is particularly rare.

Perhaps rare for Croatia?  The article says 40 exist altogether.
