Helmet
Unknown
ca. 1550–1600 · Steel, gold · Arms and Armor
Like most Ottoman helmets of the sixteenth century, this example originally was fitted with a projecting brim, cheekpieces, and a neck plate at the back, all of which were lost long ago. The floral designs around its rim are similar to the decoration on Iznik pottery of the period.
