Helmet
This helmet and the armor to which it belongs (26.92.1, 38.128.2) form a fine late example of a fluted armor, made shortly before the style went out of fashion. It is distinguished for its unusually large proportions and impressive height. The bands of scales and the distinctive roping of the lower edge of the helmet and the top edge of the breastplate are features frequently found on armors from northern Germany (possibly Brunswick), a region generally not known for producing fluted armors. The leg defenses are associated, being of the same period but originally not belong with the rest of the armor.
