Close Helmet for the Field

French

Not on view

The decoration of this helmet, with its raised ribs outlining parallel bands etched with trophies of arms, is typically French and is found on a distinctive group of armors dating to the reign of Henry IV (1590–1610). Among the trophies on this example are cannon bearing the fleurs-de-lis of France. (The front collar lame is a modern restoration.)
