Burgonet

Ulrich Holzmann

ca. 1540–50 · Steel, brass, leather · Arms and Armor

The decoration of this helmet is attributable to the Augsburg etcher Ulrich Hozmann (recorded 1534–62). The position of the plume-holder at the side of the bowl, rather than at the back, is unusual and perhaps reflects an Oriental influence.
