EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning piece of historical craftsmanship - the Peaked Morion. Created during the late 16th century by an unknown Italian artist, this steel and brass helmet stands as a testament to the artistry and ingenuity of the Middle Ages. Measuring at an impressive 35.4x23.7x26.7 cm, this ornate headpiece is adorned with intricate embossed patterns and decorative gilding, showcasing the mastery of metalwork from that era. The protective brim adds both functionality and aesthetic appeal to this magnificent armor. The Peaked Morion served as more than just a means of protection; it was also a symbol of status for knights and soldiers during medieval times. Its etched designs not only enhanced its defensive capabilities but also added an element of beauty to its overall appearance. Now housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, allowing visitors to marvel at its exquisite details up close. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such remarkable pieces of militaria from centuries past. It serves as a reminder that even in battle gear, artistry can flourish.
