This two-piece forged armor helmet features an angled visor almost perpendicular to its timbre, a particularly high ridge and stretched backwards, articulated cheek guards, held in place by pivoting hooks and widening to form the gorget, and a neck cover of large section. It is punctuated with circular rivets. The cheek guards, serving as a fan, are incised with six-pointed stars.
