A tropical cork helmet (Tropenhelm) used by soldiers of the German Afrika Korps (Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK) during the North African campaign of 1941-1943. Made of lightweight, hardened cork covered with beige canvas. On the sides are metal insignia: on one side a tricolor national shield (black-white-red), on the other a Wehrmacht eagle holding a swastika. The inside of the helmet is lined with red lining, with a preserved leather potnik and a fragment of the chin strap. The potnik bears the manufacturer's stamp HR41 (Heinrich Radecke, Hamburg, 1941).
All in very good state of preservation, with natural wear to the fabric at the edges of the brim and minor rubbing. Despite the broken chin strap, the structure remains fully stable. The helmet is preserved in its original condition, without conservation interference.

This hand-carved wooden spoon, 23 cm long, originates from Poland and is dated to the 19th century or earlier. The deep, functional bowl shows clear signs of use.
