DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Pot helmet, for use by an harquebusier. Formed of a rounded, medially-ridged skull with a broad, slightly downturned integral peak and a slightly downturned flange at the nape, a broad neck-defence of two upward-overlapping lames, and a sliding nasal-bar with a retaining staple and wing-headed locking-screw.  The skull is formed in two halves joined medially by a riveted overlap to the right.  The front edge of the peak and the rear edge of the nearly horizontal neck-defence are obtusely-pointed.  The peak is pierced with a large suspension-hole to the left of its centre.  The main edges of the helmet have plain inward turns.  The sliding nasal-bar is a modern restoration.
