British Hindu recreates 2,000 year old Roman Helmet

In 2001, pieces of a Roman military helmet were discovered in Market Harborough (Leicestershire). Conservation experts from the British Museum and Leicestershire Museums subsequently created designs of what the entire helmet would have looked like and enlisted Rajesh Gogna to recreate the helmet. Using 3D printed plastic mould, Rajesh created two silver-plated and gilded helmets that are now on display at the Harborough Museum and Hallaton Museum (Market Harborough). 

Based in Leicestershire, Rajesh Gogna (https://www.instagram.com/rajeshgognasilver/) is a 4th generation Silversmith and Goldsmith. Rajesh has expanded beyond the scope of his hereditary profession of making Indian jewellery by creating innovative works of modern art that is on display in museums across the world as well as contributing towards the discipline as a practice and research academic at De Montfort University (Leicester)
