Italy, possibly Milan / c. 1510–40
Burgonet
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Burgonet as arms and armor (Italy, possibly Milan · c. 1510–40).
The burgonet helmet is the successor to the previously worn sallet which was much the same but without the hinged earpieces and extended peak over the eyes.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this arms and armor as steel, radiate flutings.
The museum's collection notes: A burgonet is a light, open helmet characterized by a peak, a fall over the eyes, and hinged earpieces. Used by cavalry in the 1500s and 1600s, they were sometimes worn with a buffe , a separate detachable element that protected the face and throat not covered by the burgonet.
