Helmet

possibly Turkish, Istanbul, in the style of Turkman armor

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 379

This is one of the few conical helmets of the period to retain its original brim, nasal, cheeks, and nape defense. The brass trim, engraved with a zigzag motif, is typical of Mamluk and Ottoman helmets about 1500
