Discover why this helmet, also known as secret helmet, cervelliere or cervelière, is more than a historical piece; It is a testament to the tactical ingenuity of the time:
- Living History of the Middle Ages: The cervellera helmet, which emerged at the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century, was a key element from the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance. A simple, tight-fitting helmet of iron or steel, often worn with a mail coif or aventail, was commonly worn under a large helmet during battles and tournaments.
- Evolution in Battle: At the end of the 13th century, the practice of wearing the cervellera under a large helmet became common. In close combat, the large helmet was removed to allow better vision and breathing, leaving the shell to provide some protection to the head.
- Enduring Versatility: Although the cervellera evolved over time into the bascinet, it never disappeared and continued in use throughout the Middle Ages. In early modern times, the variant known as secrete was worn hidden under fashionable hats, fusing style and protection.
- Authentic Reconstruction: This reconstruction of an early medieval visorless cervellera, from the 13th century, is made of steel approximately 2 mm thick. The interior, blackened for better corrosion resistance, features a riveted suspended leather lining for comfort.
- Adjustable Leather Strap: The durable, adjustable leather strap, with antique brass buckle, ensures a secure fit. Ideal for a head circumference of up to approximately 61 cm.
- Details and Specifications: With a long distance of approximately 21 cm and a short distance of approximately 18 cm, this cervellera helmet has a height of about 16 cm and a weight of approximately 1380 g. Specifications may vary slightly from piece to piece.
- Recommended Care: Steel is not rust proof and may show light stains. Regular maintenance is recommended with oils such as Ballistol Universal Oil, perfect for the care of steel.
