Barbute
Barbute
Circa 15th Century
Based on a 15th-century barbute from northern Italy, this helmet has decorative brass rivets encircling the top and steel rivets lining the edges. A short ridge accents the round skull.
Inside, the helmet has an adjustable, padded cotton canvas liner, and leather straps that secure it in place when tied under the chin.
A similar barbute resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Worn over our #201002 Arming Cap or #200628 Padded Medieval Arming Cap, this steel knight's helmet makes an impressive addition to any armour set for reenactment, the Renaissance faire, LARP, or other costuming activities.
