Product description

The morion is an open helm that emerged in Spain in the first half of the 16th century and was worn by foot soldiers throughout Europe until the early 17th century. Characteristic features are the high crest that runs front to back over the skull, giving the helm extra rigidity, and the rim that curves upward at the front and rear. Spanish explorers such as Hernando de Soto and Francisco Vázquez de Coronado equipped their soldiers in the 1540s presumably with this type of helm.

This morion is handmade from steel. The skull, crest, and rim are decorated all around with etched scrollwork, and gilded rosettes sit on the rivets along the lower rim.

A striking piece for collectors and for those who want to complete a 16th-century Spanish or Landsknecht costume.
