EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Barbute helmet from the Venetian Garrison at Chalcis, North Italy, dating back to the period between 1350 and 1420. Crafted from iron by the Italian School in the 15th century, this artifact measures approximately 29.00 cm in height, 21.00 cm in width, and 25.00 cm in depth, weighing around 1.58 kg. The Barbute helmet was a rare type of head protection used by professional men-at-arms during the late medieval era. Its distinctive conical shape served as an effective defense against glancing blows to the head. The term "barbuti" mentioned in Italian chronicles refers to these skilled warriors who wore such helmets. Derived from the Italian word "barba" meaning beard, this helmet often featured a hood of mail called camail attached to it. The row of small holes along its face opening and neck were specifically designed for attaching both the camail and lining. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this remarkable piece is part of Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance's generous gift collection. This photograph not only captures an exquisite example of military armor but also provides valuable insights into historical warfare practices during the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in Venice, Italy.
