Close Helmet with Mask Visor in Form of a Human Face

Close Helmet with Mask Visor in Form of a Human Face. Armorer: Attributed to Kolman Helmschmid (German, Augsburg 1471-1532). Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: H. 12 in. (30.5 cm); W. 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm); D. 13 in. (33 cm); Wt. 4 lb. 12 oz. (2146 g). Date: ca. 1515. Helmets fitted with masklike visors were a popular German and Austrian fashion about 1510 to 1540.
