Close-Helmet ca. 1560 British or Flemish The prow-like lower visor of this helmet is the most recognizable characteristic of a distinctive style that was made about the middle of the sixteenth century in either England or Flanders. This particular helmet is interesting because it was later adapted and reused as a funerary achievement, meaning that it was hung in a church above the tomb of a gentleman. Indicators of this are the painted decoration and the relatively crude spike, designed to hold a crest, piercing the comb at the top. Funerary helmets are rare, particularly outside the context of English churches.. Close-Helmet 35953

6145-29719967
Armor of the Dukes of Alba ca. 1575-85 Lucio Piccinino Italian This is one of the few armors attributable to Lucio Piccinino, the last of the great Italian armor embossers. Distinctive of Piccinino's style is the covering of the armor surface with a dense network of embossed ornament with vertical bands connected laterally by swags of acanthus and fruit. Originally, the steel ground was blued and highlighted with gold and silver damascening. Although damaged by fire in the nineteenth century, this armor amply demonstrates Piccinino's skill in designing a complex program of Classically inspired decoration.Acquired directly from the ancestral collection of the dukes of Alba in Madrid in 1861, this armor appears to combine the remains of two armors of nearly identical size and style. They were probably made for two of the sons of Fernando Alvarez de Toledo (1507-1582), third duke of Alba, a famous Spanish general.. Armor of the Dukes of Alba. Italian, Milan. ca. 1575-85.

Armor of Emperor Ferdinand I (1503-1564) dated 1549 Kunz Lochner German The ownership of this armor by Ferdinand I (1503-1564) is indicated by the heraldic emblems on the toe caps: the imperial double-headed eagle surmounted by a royal crown, which signifies Ferdinands honorific status as king of the Romans and designated successor to his brother, Emperor Charles V. The image of the Virgin and Child on the breastplate was also used by Charles V on his own armors. The backplate is decorated with crossed staves and firesteels, the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, an elite chivalric society of which Ferdinand was a member.Kunz Lochner, Nurembergs most celebrated armorer of the period, made several armors for both Ferdinand and his son Archduke Maximilian (1527-1576), including two matching armors produced about 1546 that are very similar to the one exhibited here.The helmet of the Museums armor was not made for it originally but has been associated with the armor since at le

Armet ca. 1490 Italian The term armet is generally used to denote a visored helmet of particular construction, one in which large cheekpieces are hinged to the base of the bowl just above the ears and close in front of the chin. The face opening is formed in the space between the rim of the bowl and the edges of the cheekpieces, an area closed and protected by a short, pointed visor hinged to pivots on either side of the bowl. The right side of the visor is pierced with a slot and holes for ventilation, and has a lifting peg. A cusped brow reinforce riveted to the front of the bowl, and a circular plate (rondel) attached by a short stem to the base of the bowl at the rear of the helmet are two other features common to the armet. Apart from the rondel and stem, which are restorations, this armet is entirely homogeneous. Its original appearance would have included a protective curtain-like mail fringe attached by rivets to the lowermost edge of the helmet, and several plates known as a b

Morion ca. 1600 German, Nuremberg Forged in one piece this helmet has a high comb across its rounded bowl and an elegantly swept brim rising to sharp points at the front and back. Cheekpieces with chin straps are built up from three overlapping plates. The decorative heads of the rivets securing the lining are lion's masks holding rings in their mouths; the rivet heads on the cheekpieces are brass rosettes. A brass plume holder in the shape of a winged female half-figurine is attached to the rear end of the comb. The entire surface is blackened except for etched and gilt bands of arabesques along the edges of brim and comb and circular medallions on bowl and comb. The smaller medallions on the comb show the arms of the Dukes of Saxony, barry of ten, or and sable, a crancelin vert in bend overall, on one side, and on the other those of the archmarshalship of the empire, per fess sable and argent, two swords gules in saltire overall.

Sande mask, second quarter of 20th century, 13 x 8 x 8 in. (33.0 x 20.3 x 20.3 cm), Wood, raffia, Sierra Leone, 20th century, A mask sometimes embodies ideals of physical and moral beauty or goodness. Here, the high forehead, downcast eyes, and elaborate coiffure suggest the pinnacle of female attractiveness among the Mende people. One of the very few types of masks worn by women in Africa, it accompanied young girls who had undergone initiation into the Sande association that prepared them for adulthood. The dyed raffia attached to the mask was part of a larger costume that would have entirely covered the dancer.

Half Armor for the Foot Tournament, c. 1590. Pompeo della Cesa (Italian, active 1572-93). Etched and gilded steel, brass rivets, leather and velvet fittings; overall: 31.7 x 27.7 x 21.6 cm (12 1/2 x 10 7/8 x 8 1/2 in.). This armor was designed for the foot tournament, an event that was separate from the equestrian jousts popularized during the Middle Ages and still favored among Renaissance aristocracies throughout Europe. Foot tournaments were commonly fought over a barrier that separated the combatants and gave protection to their legs, so a half-armor such as this one provided sufficient protection. The original owner of this suit would have worn it with colorful puffed and slashed britches and hose. The use of outlandish accessories, such as a large ostrich feather plume (a brass plume holder may be seen on the back of the helmet) and red velvet pickadils between the steel plates, provided additional splendor.

Tournament Sallet (Rennhut) with Buffe Made 1560-1610 Saxony. This type of helmet, called a sallet, was part of a complete jousting armor. Its buffe (lower face and neck guard) would be bolted down over the breastplate to bolster the jouster against heavy blows from an opponentís lance. The ensemble formed part of a group of locally made jousting armors that stocked the Duke of Saxonyís armory. Members of the dukeís court used them on festive occasions. Records show that they continued to be used for over three hundred years, long after most courts had abandoned the sport.. Steel, iron, brass, and leather .

Lobster-Tail Burgonet (Zischägge) ca. 1630-40 German The term Zischägge refers to a distinctive type of seventeenth-century helmet consisting of a hemispherical bowl, a brim with sliding nosepiece (nasal), cheekpieces, and a long laminated tail over the back of the neck. The German word is a corruption of the Turkish chichak, which refers to a similar helmet used throughout much of the Ottoman world.Unlike most Zischägge, which were relatively simple, this example has a finely fluted and ribbed bowl with a baluster finial at the top, and surfaces that are blued and gilt. It also has its original leather lining in the bowl, brim, tail, and cheekpieces.. Lobster-Tail Burgonet (Zischägge). German. ca. 1630-40. Steel, gold, brass, leather, textile. Helmets

Two bronze helmets. Culture: Greek, Cretan. Dimensions: H. (1989.281.49): 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm)H. (1989.281.50): 8 1/4 in. (21 cm). Date: late 7th century B.C..These helmets and the three mitrai exhibited below them are the finest pieces of a large cache of armor that came to light in southern central Crete, where it was undoubtedly made. The inscriptions suggest that the armor was captured as booty and offered as a dedication. In repoussé on both sides of one helmet is a pair of winged youths grasping a pair of intertwined snakes. Below them are two panthers with a common head. The helmet is inscribed "Neopolis." In repoussé on both sides of the other helmet is a horse; incised on each cheekpiece is a lion. The inscription states that Synenitos, the son of Euklotas, took this object. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Helmet (Khula Khud). Culture: Iranian. Dimensions: H. including mail 27 in. (68.6 cm); H. including nasal 12 in. (30.5 cm); H. excluding mail and nasal 10 in. (25.4 cm); Diam. 8 in. (20.2 cm); Wt. 4 lbs. 10.8 oz. (2120.5 g). Date: first half 19th century.Despite the modernization of Iran's military in the nineteenth century, traditional armor continued to be manufactured. Its purpose, however, is uncertain: for military parades, as costume for religious or historical plays, or as romantic souvenirs for the tourist trade. This helmet, with its feline face and horns, features imagery inspired by Iran's national epic, the Shahnama (Book of Kings)--notably, the tiger-skin headdress and the horned ox-headed mace that were the distinguishing arms of the hero Rustam. Inscriptions in Persian refer to Rustam and several other heroes from the poem. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
