Important And Rare 'angevin' Templar Helmet In Wrought Iron

Important and rare 'Angevin' Templar helmet in wrought iron, composed of three plates of which two parallel plates fixed by pins and rivets and a circular upper plate reinforced from the inside by small corner plates. Small round holes equidistant, to facilitate the flow of air, and two slits for the view. The helmet can be considered in excellent condition except for a small hole on the back and a natural peeling of the metal.
This rare object, already part of the Collection of the Medieval Museum Federico II and the Middle Ages, was lent together with 45 other Templar finds and exhibited at the exhibition 'History and Legend of the Knights of the Temple', at the Spazio Cobianchi in Milan in Piazza Duomo, from 13 April 2017 to 7 January 2018. The exhibition, curated by Prof Cosimo Damiano Fonseca, with the patronage of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities of the Lombardy Region. It was so successful that it was extended twice from July 2017 to January 2018.'Saremo al Mercante in Fiera di Parma dal 12 al 20 ottobre...Padiglione 3 stand D 58'
