Kabuto, Japan
Kabuto helmet, several parts assembled and riveted, poor condition, H+-24cm.
Note: The kabuto (兜, 冑?) is the traditional helmet of Japanese armor, used by the samurai. It is shaped like a bomb, composed of various forged metal plates riveted together, protecting the top of the skull as well as a series of flexible lamellae (shikoro) protecting the neck. These helmets could be adorned with a maedate (frontal ornament) and bear the mon (coat of arms of the clan to which the samurai belonged).
