1580–1590 Italian etched steel, brass, and modern leather Place made: Milan, Lombardy, Italy This type of helmet combined the flat curved brim of the morion helmet which had a crest on top from front to back and the almond-shaped skull of the cabasset helmet. This combination produced a light and elegantly formed head defense. Such open-faced defenses were popular on the battlefield with soldiers on horseback and on foot, as they provided good protection without interfering with the visibility necessary to aim hand firearms. The surface of a morion-cabasset lent itself to decoration, and finely etched ones like this were popular helmets for the bodyguards of powerful nobility.
