    @stevex6 what is this animal? Looks like a stag with no antlers.

    The only helmets with plumes that I have found (not being worn) are from Sicily

    Weight is 4.68 and diameter is 15mm. Dies adjusted to 6 o'clock.
    If I had to risk a guess I'd say a Thracian dynast. But this is only a guess.
    I think the animal is a bull.

    Bull was my first thought, but I can't make out any horns.
