Formed of a one-piece skull with a long 'tail' over the neck, and a pivoted demi-visor.  The skull has a rounded crown with a broad, medial keel at its apex, narrowing to a medial ridge at the front and rear.  The centre of the keel is pierced with a large, circular hole between a pair of rivet-holes for the attachment of a threaded boss to receive a crest.  The lower edge of the skull has a plain outward turn except at the front where it is cut away as a shallow face-opening that widens towards the bottom.  The straight upper edge of the face-opening, which is flanged outwards very slightly and decorated at its edge with a single incised line, forms the upper edge of the vision-slit.  Just above the level of the vision-slit, the skull is encircled by a series of twenty-one lining-rivets beneath a single, decorative incised line.  The front nine rivets are externally flush with flat internal heads, while the remainder are round-headed with circular internal washers of which two are missing.  The rivets and washers are all replaced, as are the buff-leather lining-band and the buff-leather loops for chin-straps at either side that they retain.  A similar pair of round-headed rivets with circular internal washers retaining a buff-leather suspension-loop within the nape are likewise replaced.  Five pairs of small holes around the lower edge of the skull and another to either side of the face-opening served to sew in the lining.  A single hole at either side of the face-opening and a corresponding hole at either side of the visor, which served as construction-holes during manufacture, have been plugged with rivets.  At the right lower corner of the face-opening is a push-button-operated spring-catch that engages a hole in the right lower corner of the visor.  The mushroom-shaped push-button is probably replaced, as are the pair of small, round-headed rivets that retain the flat internal spring.  The visor is attached by a pair of large, riveted, round-headed pivots.  Its lower edge has a plain outward turn matching and continuing that of the skull.  The straight, central section of the upper edge of the visor forms the lower edge of the vision-slit.  It is flanged inwards and projects forward very slightly as a 'lip'.  The rear of the visor is decorated at either side with a cusp.  The upward-angled arms of the visor are decorated at their terminals with scalloped edges, and further down with a single incised line, overlaying that which encircles the skull.

Formed of the front plate of a full-length, tubular greave and an integral sabaton of ten lames.  The front plate of the greave is medially ridged and closely shaped to the contours of the lower leg.  Its lower edge has a roped, inward turn at each side, and an arched cut-out for the foot at the front.  Its upper edge is pierced at either side with a hole for a missing turning-pin and stud to engage keyhole slots in the lower edge of a poleyn.  A pair of later holes at the centre of the upper edge are now occupied by externally-flush rivets, the left of which retains a fragment of leather under its flat, internal head.  The upper inner corner of the front plate of the greave is broken away.  The outer edge of the plate is pierced with a rivet-hole near its upper end, another, occupied by the remains of a rivet, a short distance below it, and yet another at its lower end.  The lowest two of these holes probably served to retain the hinges that connected the front and back plates of the greaves to one another.  The inner edge of the front plate is pierced with a pair of holes at its upper end, a single hole a short distance below it, and three holes at its lower end.  The outer of the pair of holes at the top and the outer of the three holes at the bottom probably served to engage studs on the rear plate of the greave.  The remaining holes are mostly, or all, later.  The sabaton, which fits within the arched lower edge of the front plate of the greave, is formed of ten lames that overlap inwards towards the fifth which is considerably longer than the rest.  The tenth lame constitutes the toe-cap, which is of narrow, slightly square form with bulbous corners.  All lames of the sabaton are medially ridged and have plain, partial inward turns at their lower edges.  The lames are connected to one another and to the greave at their outer ends by modern round-headed rivets with square internal washers, except in the case of the rivets connecting the first lame to the greave, where the washers are octagonal.  The lames were further connected to one another and to the sabaton at their centres by a pair of internal leathers secured to each lame by an externally-flush rivet, except on the toe-cap where the rivets are modern and round-headed.  The rivet-hole for the inner leather on the seventh lame remains vacant.  Both leathers have been deliberately severed between each lame.  A single, externally-flush rivet at either side of the toe-cap and a pair of such rivets on its underside retain a broad leather strap beneath the toes.  The centre of the front edge of the fourth lame of the sabaton has been repaired with a riveted internal patch.  The lateral edges of the front plate of the greave, the centre of the front plate of the greave and sabaton, and the front end of the toe-cap of the sabaton are decorated with bands of scrolling foliage and flowerheads on a stippled ground.  The bands are enclosed by narrow borderlines from which alternating hatched, tri-radiate leaves and tendril-like volutes issue diagonally upwards and outwards.  The bands and their borderlines retain substantial traces of gilding, while the projecting leaves and volutes are blackened."}],"identifier":[{"accession_number":"HEN.M.152-1933","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"HEN.M.152-1933"},{"priref":"18654","type":"priref","value":"18654"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/18654","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/18654"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"legal":{"credit_line":"J.S.
