"T" Face Barbute Helmet -14 Gauge Steel - M

The T-face barbute was developed in Italy during the 15th century but its roots can be traced back to ancient Greece and its development may have been influenced by a growing interest at the time in artefacts of the ancient world. These helmets were popular throughout Europe and offered an alternative to the more restrictive sallet. They had no visor, fitted closely to the head and neck and the sides often extended almost to the shoulders and round in front of the face. The extended sides protected the neck and jaw, dispensing with the need for a separate bevor or gorget.

Our T-faced barbute replicates the helmet adorning the ‘Avant’ armour housed at the Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow. and is crafted in 14 gauge steel with an adjustable leather liner and chinstrap.
