Summary

Description
English: 6th century BC Corinthian helmet discovered at the Temple of Zeus in Olympia in 1875 and awarded to Son Kee Chung for his victory in the marathon at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

Inside the helmet, two metal labels have been added with the inscriptions in German:

"From the Athens daily newspaper "Vradini", to the winner of marathon in the XI Olympiad in Berlin 1936"

"Corinthian helmet discovered in Olympia, produced in the 6th century BC during the golden age of the Olympic Games"

The helmet is now displayed at the Korean National Museum and is the only Western-origin artifact that has been designated as a Treasure (#904) by the Korean government.
