Sallet 1500-1510
Simple form, shaped to the head and with a short tail at the back for the neck. Low central crest. Excavated condition with signifant losses at the edges and one small detached piece on the left. One edge section appears to be re-attached with epoxy. The form of the helmet indicates that this is probably for use in the Iberian penninsula. There are a large number of these in the collection of the army museum in Toledo (the Museo del Ejercito in the Alcazar).
