Description: 'Spanish' morion, for infantry use. Formed in one piece with an almond-shaped crown that rises to a short, backward-directed stalk at its apex, and a narrow, slightly downturned integral brim of even width, crudely pierced at its front end with a later wiring-hole. The edge of the brim has a plain inward turn accompanied by a narrow recessed border. The base of the crown is encircled by fourteen holes for lining-rivets of which six are occupied by round-headed rivets with circular internal washers. The latter retain small fragments of a linen lining-band and of the suspension-leathers for the missing cheek-pieces. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | armour Unknown Spanish morion | Temporal: | name=late 16th Century; start=1590; end=1590 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
