Image description

This simple helmet, with large cheekpieces and adjustable nasal guard to defend against sword cuts and flexible neck defense reminiscent of a lobster's tail, was the classic headpiece of European horsemen during the Thirty Years' War (1618-48). Its name is derived from the Slavic/Turkic term shishak, the name for a similarly formed helmet introduced into eastern Europe via the Ottoman Turks. This example is of finer quality than most others, which were left unpolished or painted black to reduce maintenance.
