Closed Burgonet

Unknown

ca. 1620–30 · Steel, gold, brass · Arms and Armor

This simple but handsome example was originally blued or blackened; the barred face defense and pivot hooks on the right side are gilt. The triple-barred visor and the single collar lame at the front and back, each shaped and engraved to suggest several articulated lames, are features frequently found on Dutch armors of the period.
