16th Century Renaissance Helmet "Sturmhaube" Burgonet
1/10
Description
Famous Renaissance helmet of the "Sturmhaube" type, also known as the Burgundy helmet ("burgonet") or "casquetto," dating from the second half of the 16th century, likely made around 1560-1580. The helmet originated in Italy and was widely used during the Renaissance across Europe, including Poland, by infantry, cavalry, and even in naval service.
At the early stages of the renowned Polish Hussars, helmets of the "Sturmhaube" type were also used, for instance, in 1558 by the retinue of Mikołaj in his personal guard. Burgundy helmets were also employed during the legendary defense of Malta against the Turks in 1565.
The helmet is made from thick steel plate, with a rounded skull and a high comb along its axis, a slightly pointed visor, and a short neck guard. On the sides, there are cutouts where original cheek protections were placed. Numerous double holes indicate the former stitching for lining. The painted decoration is a later addition. The condition is as shown in the pictures.
