Helmets are considered as one of the most universal forms of armor specially designed to offer a defensive covering for the head, face and sometimes the neck from the cutting blows of swords, spears, arrows and other weapons. The typical helmet is a hardened-metal shell with an inner liner. In earlier times, the knight helmets were usually made of iron & leather and covered the entire head, with only a narrow opening in front for vision and breath. The medieval helmet started out as a simple box shape and evolved into the various styles.

Regarded as the one of the most collective forms of armor, these still lure the art connoisseurs because of their specific designs. The protective headgears require sturdy metal & leather materials for their construction purposes which imparts additional strength to this most hardened-metal shell having an inner liner. The intricate carvings, embellishments done with beads, stone work & metallic chains apart from the refined embossed work adds on to their charisma.

Armour helmets vary in their appearance such as they might have cheek flaps or can be pointed. Hammered helmets are considered the best among the lots.

These rare helmet pieces have always attracted art lovers simply because of their antique features & are, thus, treasured pieces.
