The earliest bronze helmets in China date back to the Shang Dynasty, covered the neck and ears, and were often decorated with taotie masks and animal faces to make the warrior appear fearsome. Chou (Zhou) bronze helmets were similar to the Shang types but less elaborately decorated, and it is thought that the hood-shaped styles of the later Han Dynasty were metal copies of older leather versions. -
