Sallet

Unknown

ca. 1490 · Steel, leather · Arms and Armor

The wide, flat comb suggests that this sallet is a late example dating to the end of the fifteenth century. The visor has been modified or may be associated. The tail is unusually long and spatulate and is struck with two marks: that of the city of Nuremberg and an armorer's mark in the shape of a horseshoe enclosing a letter, possibly that of Hans Grünewalt (ca. 1440–1503).
