Description

Ca. 17th century AD. This steel helmet is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance, a true testament to the artistry of its makers. Its conical form is surmounted by a graceful spike finial that adds to its imposing and regal appearance. The exterior is adorned with exquisite decorative cartouches and bands of highly ornamental designs that speak to the dedication and skill of the artisans who created it. The everted rim adds a touch of grace and sophistication to the piece, elevating it to a level of refinement that is truly breathtaking. The helmet's beauty is undeniable, but it is not merely ornamental. It is a functional piece of armor that would have been worn by soldiers in battle, offering them protection and confidence as they faced their enemies. The Safavid dynasty was a period of frequent warfare, and helmets played a crucial role in protecting soldiers on the battlefield. The helmets of the Safavid army were typically made from high-quality steel that was tempered and hardened to provide maximum protection to the wearer. The conical shaped steel helmet was a popular choice for Safavid soldiers, a this type of helmet provided excellent protection to the head while also allowing for excellent visibility.
