Istanbul Turkish and Islamic Museum Seljuq Exhibits 2015 0926.jpg

Helmet, Anatolia, end 13th-start 14th century

Yes, I am a bit heavy on the helmets. I was informed about the exhibition by historian Raffaele D'Amato, after my first visit I let him know it was a fine exhibition. He being a specialist in ancient weaponry asked if I'd taken pictures of the helmets. I had to confess I was impressed by the sword next to it, but n, no helmets. He was flabbergasted. So I returned and found there were two helmets, of which I took pictures from several sides, just to make certain. He is pleased now.
