From our medieval miniatures collection, the European Pigface Bascinet is circa 1390. This helm style became popular in the late 13th century widely replacing the Great Helm because of its close fit styling. Towards the late 14th century the long snouted appearance had earned it the English nickname Hounskull, or “Pig-faced bascinet”. This exceptional helm is skillfully crafted of carbon steel and adorned with brass accents. It measures approximately 5" L x 3" W x 4" H and will make an impressive addition to your collection.
A black iron desktop display stand is included.
