Title:
Lobster-Tail Burgonet for a Harquebusier
Caption:
Lobster-Tail Burgonet for a Harquebusier. Culture: Dutch or British. Dimensions: H. 11 in. (27.9 cm); W. 8 in. (20.3 cm); D. 13 in. (33 cm); Wt. 2 lb. 9 oz. (1154 g). Date: ca. 1610-20.
The rich decoration of this helmet is exceptional, covering it completely with wide bands of chiseled and punched floral designs alternating in silver and gold. Although it was once believed that its neck plate, cheekpieces, plume holder and lining were later restorations, futher study has confirmed that they are genuine and original to the helmet. In its quality and elaborate ornament, this helmet is similar to a Dutch armor in the Tower of London, which was made in 1612 for Henry, Prince of Wales.
