EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of historical armor - the War Hat, or kettle hat, dating back to the late 15th century. Crafted from sturdy steel by the skilled hands of Antonio Missaglia or his workshop, this helmet stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Renaissance Italy. Measuring at an impressive 36x22x26.6 cm, this war hat is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Its distinctive shape features a wide brim that extends downwards to protect the wearer's face from incoming blows during battle. The sleek metallic surface reflects light in mesmerizing patterns, adding an air of intimidation to its already formidable presence. Adorned with a comb-like crest on top, this helmet exudes authority and strength. It serves not only as protective headgear but also as a symbol of power on the battlefield. This particular artifact now resides within the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA after being generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance. As we gaze upon this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where warfare was commonplace and armor like this was essential for survival. It reminds us of our ancestors' ingenuity in creating tools for protection while simultaneously showcasing their artistic sensibilities through intricate metalwork designs. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at its beauty - a true masterpiece born out of necessity during times when conflict reigned
