A NORTH EUROPEAN BURGONET, POSSIBLY GERMAN,
EARLY 17TH CENTURY
formed of a rounded two-piece skull joined medially along
the apex of its high roped comb, projecting forward to an
acutely-pointed peak, flanged outwards at the nape to
receive an obtusely-pointed one-piece neck-guard and cut
out at each side to receive a missing cheek-piece, now
represented only by the proximal ends of its hinge, the
main edges decorated with plain inward turns
accompanied, in the case of the neck-guard, by a recessed
border, (heavily corroded overall with significant losses at
the centre and right of the peak, the apex of the comb and
the right of the neck-guard, and some deformation
throughout)
