This steel "barbute" helmet, dated between 1435 and 1485, was crafted by the Italian artist Jacopo da Cannobio, also known as Bichignola. The helmet's pointed, rounded shape and visor provided protection for the wearer's head and face. The helmet is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This type of helmet was a popular form of head protection during the 15th century, offering a greater degree of protection than earlier styles like the bascinet.
