Product description
This barbuta is a replica of a 15th century Milanese example.
The barbute is a type of sallet that was developed so the wearer didn't need to wear a mail coif, camail or other neck protection. Barbutas were already being developed from the early 15th century. This type of barbute emerged from the 2nd half of the 15th century. It resembles a sallet less than its predecessors and was probably strongly inspired by the Greek Corinthian helmets from classical antiquity. During the Italian Renaissance, there was a particular interest in this period, which in the early 16th century even led to the all'antica armor style. This had an effect on plate armor development.
This barbuta has a T-shaped visor. The forward-facing edges of this helmet provide the wearer with protection to the cheeks and face, while the field of vision is not obstructed. The helmet crest on this helmet is also influenced by the all'antica style. The steel crest imitates the helmet crests of Roman legionaries, associating the wearer with this glorious past.
The helmet is made of 1.3 mm thick steel and is fitted with a leather helmet inlay. It is suitable for a maximum head circumference of up to 61 cm.
