Medallions of Huviška as pictorial evidence of pre-Islamic lamellar helmets

In the current paper the author discusses headgear represented on Kusān medallions showing the bust of King Huviska. Most likely those medallions are depicting pre-Islamic lamellar helmets, well known from for example on the Sasanian, Bīsetūn capital currently held in Ṭāq-e Bostān Museum, Iran. The author will try to compare the presented lamellar constructions with known finds of such helmets of the pre-Islamic era.
