Bucket helmet with fixed visor, 13th century
In the 12th century, knights recognised the need to protect the face, which until then had only been protected by the nasal. The addition of a face shield (fixed visor) improved the protection of the head against attacks from the front, e.g. from spears or flying arrows. This helmet is inspired by a 13th century original from the British Museum. The fixed visor of this bucket helmet is perforated with 26 oval openings. Visibility is guaranteed by two openings in the fixed visor. More information...
