This 15th-century Sallet, a type of helmet worn by infantry, is a prime example of protective armor from the Late Middle Ages. Crafted by the German blacksmith Caspar Rieder, it features a rounded, bowl-shaped crown with a distinctive brim that extends over the ears and down to the neck, offering added protection. This steel helmet, now residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship employed in creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing armor during this era.
