EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Secrete, or skull cap, dating back to the 17th century. Crafted from steel, this small yet powerful armor measures 20.3x16.5x10.2 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Secrete served as an ingenious form of protection against edged weapons during its time. Worn discreetly under a hat, it provided invisible defense to both soldiers and civilians alike. Its smooth domed surface exudes strength and resilience, reflecting the ingenuity of its design. Capturing the essence of militaria at its finest, this metal skullcap represents an era where personal safety was paramount amidst turbulent times. The intricate metalwork demonstrates skilled craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Donated by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance, this artifact now resides within the museum's collection as a testament to human innovation in self-defense throughout history. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back centuries ago when individuals sought protection through such unique means - reminding us that even in our modern world, there is much to learn from those who came before us.
