Great Helm 7cm

Product Description: This model of a Great Helm Helmet on a base is made from resin that is hand painted and measures 7cm tall. The base is inscribed with the words "Great Helm". The model is supplied in a white box with a label identifying it on the front.

Information: The great helm covered the entire head and would have been worn from the late twelfth century during the Crusades. It remained in use until the fourteenth century. Although the great helm offered vastly superior protection than previous helmets, it also limited the wearer’s peripheral vision, provided little ventilation was very heavy.
