    Tons of information here from the Koryvantes Association of Historical Studies in Athens, who made this replica. Picture caption:

    Early Mycaenean Warrior, armed with Naumahon Xisto (?) – boarding pike.

    Reconstruction of a Mycaenean armour and weapons. The Mycaenean plate armour is an exact copy of the Dendra armour, presented in Nafplion Archeological Museum. The peculiar bronze double-headed blade is dated around 16th Century BC found at Agios Onoufrios near Phaistos Crete. The helmet is based on depiction from Medinet Habu, Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III, Luxor.
