Which of these Maryon did not restore?
Sutton Hoo ship
Emesa helmet
Sutton Hoo shield
Colossus of Rhodes theory
Answer
The Emesa helmet was not restored by Maryon as it is widely considered to be a modern creation or forgery, rather than an authentic ancient artifact. Unlike other Maryon-restored pieces such as the Euphronios Krater and Medici Vase, the Emesa helmet lacks clear and consistent historical documentation or provenance.
