Armet 1500 - 1510

"Armet" is a 16th-century helmet crafted by the Spanish armorer Guillem Margot. The helmet, made of steel, features a distinctive "armet" style that is characterized by a closed visor, a prominent neck guard, and ventilation holes. The helmet, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, demonstrates the ingenuity of Renaissance armorers, who combined functionality with artistic flair. The ventilation holes are cleverly designed, providing breathability while maintaining the helmet's protective qualities.
