Closed Burgonet
Not on view
The openwork visor, which allowed maximum ventialtion while providing excellent protection from cuts, originally could be closed by a falling buffe (now missing), which fitted over the pierced studs on either side of the bevor. The elegantly shaped bowl and scalloped edges of the plates recall Innsbruck armors made in the 1550s and early 1560s. (The rear collar lames are old but associated.)
