This print showcases a Burgonet all Antica, an Italian helmet believed to be from Milan and created between 1535-1545. The unknown artist behind this remarkable piece of armor has left us in awe with their intricate craftsmanship. The burgonet is made of steel, adorned with gold and silver accents that add a touch of opulence to its design.
