I'd have gone for something more authentic, perhaps without the ritual
protrusions and more in keeping with everyday/battle helmets...

  "...although horned helmets are in popular culture often associated

  ever worn them. The attribution probably arose in 19th century
  Swedish Romanticism." [1]
