Sallet ca. 1450-1500 Spanish Close-fitting caplike helmets of this type, with cutouts for the ears, were worn by Spanish infantrymen during the second half of the fifteenth century. Unlike most known examples, which have a strong median ridge from front to back, this sallet has a smooth hemispherical bowl that suggest one of the earlier (mid-century) examples. Acquired in Spain in the nineteenth century, it is said to have come from a tomb in Aragon. Now dark and heavily corroded, the surface was probably once brightly polished.. Sallet 25394
