Early Medieval Recreation Helmet

Cavalry in general have always preferred to have their faces covered for obvious reasons, as sometimes it is worth sacrificing vision for protection. It could be said that since much earlier centuries, even infantry had their faces covered in some cases, such as the Spangenhelm with blinkers.

The arrival of the Topfhelm (literally "pot helmets"), possibly responds to the new battle tactics that arrived in the High Middle Ages, and it can be seen that its use began to become widespread among the cavalry. It is also argued that it is precisely the use of these helmets that cover the face of the wearer, which pushed the use of heraldry for the identification of the knights, although this is a hypothesis that could well give many hours of discussion. This version that we offer here, with a flat bald head, is possibly one of the first versions of these Topfhelm, perfectly used both by infantry and cavalry.
