DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Burgonet, for light field use. Formed of a skull, a pivoted visor, a pair of hinged cheek-pieces and a neck-defence of one lame.  The skull, which is boxed in four vertical panels, rises at its apex to a pointed acorn-shaped finial.  The broad, slightly downturned peak has short, slender arms and projects forward to an obtuse central point.  The cheek-pieces are of square form.  Each is pierced at its centre with five small, circular ventilation-holes in rosette formation.  The lower edge of the neck-defence descends to an obtuse central point where it is pierced with a later pair of suspension-holes.  The main edges of the helmet have file-roped inward turns accompanied by recessed borders.
