DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: 'Spanish' morion, for infantry use. Formed in one piece with an almond-shaped crown that rises to a short, backward-directed stalk at its apex, and a narrow, slightly downturned integral brim of even width, crudely pierced at its front end with a later wiring-hole.  The edge of the brim has a plain inward turn accompanied by a narrow recessed border.  The base of the crown is encircled by fourteen holes for lining-rivets of which six are occupied by round-headed rivets with circular internal washers.  The latter retain small fragments of a linen lining-band and of the suspension-leathers for the missing cheek-pieces.
