EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of armor from the 16th century - the Triple-crested burgonet. Crafted by the German School, this steel helmet adorned with leather bands is an exquisite example of military craftsmanship. Measuring at 28x30.2x21.3 cm, this burgonet is believed to have originated from Augsburg, Germany. Its intricate design features corrugation and serration, adding both aesthetic appeal and enhanced protection for its wearer on the battlefield. The triple crest atop this helmet adds a touch of grandeur and distinction to its overall appearance. The cheek pieces are meticulously crafted with serrated edges, further emphasizing the attention to detail in its construction. As a vital component of medieval armor known as sallets or bourgundian helmets, burgonets like this one were crucial in safeguarding soldiers during combat. With their strong metalwork and riveted structure, they provided reliable protection against enemy attacks. Now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this Triple-crested burgonet stands as a testament to the rich history of militaria. Generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
