Close Helmet for the Tourney
Not on view
The tourney was a mock combat fought in an open field between two groups of mounted contestants armed with blunted lances and swords. Armor for the tourny usually was similar to that used in battle, with the addition of specialized reinforcing plates. This helmet retains its original silk-covered padded lining and canvas straps for adjusting the lining to the head.
