Helmet
Mongolian, 15th-17th century
The gold damascened decoration on this distinctive Mongolian helemt features six large ovals containing the diety Yamataka (literally "slayer of the lord of death") in the center, surrounded by five female attendants called dakinis ("sky-goers"). In between them are twelve protective seed syllables, which are symbolic letters also known as boji. These are flanked by Tibetan inscriptions identifying the protective attributes of each seed syllable. The brow of the helmet is encircled by a series of mantras, including invocations to Yamataka and the dakinis. In the center of the brow is a monogram known as the All-Powerful Ten, made up of the ten Sanskrit syllables of the Kalachakra mantra. Next to it is a stylized stupa or chorten, a funerary monument or reliquary that can also represent the enlightened mind.
American militia from Geneva Ohio. Date and uniform is not certain. It looks very much like there is some sort of bird on the top of this helmet. I have not seen anything like this so far.

"At the beginning of spring Drusus sent out again for the war, crossed the Rhine, and subjugated the Usipetes. He bridged the Lippe, invaded the country of the Sugambrians, and advanced through it into the country of the Cheruscians, as far as the Weser. [...] He would have crossed the Weser also, had he not run short of provisions, and had not the winter set in [...]. Consequently he proceeded no farther, but retired to friendly territory, encountering great dangers on the way. For the enemy harassed him everywhere by ambuscades, and once they shut him up in a narrow pass and all but destroyed his army; indeed, they would have annihilated them, had they not conceived a contempt for them, as if they were already captured and needed only the finishing stroke, and so come to close quarters with them in disorder. This led to their being worsted, after which they were no longer so bold, but kept up a petty annoyance of his troops from a distance, while refusing to come nearer. Drusus accordingly conceived a scorn of them in his turn and fortified a stronghold against them at the point where the Lippe and the Eliso unite."

Helmet
Spanish, probably Nasrid period, late 15th century
This helmet
is tradisionally said to have been that of Abu'Abd Allah Muhammad, known in the West as Boabdil, the last Nasrid king of Granada 9reign 1482-83 and again 1487-92). If this is endeed so, it is the only known example of armor from the entire Nasrid period in Spain (1290-1492).
The helmet has the form of a typical Spanish sallet of the late-fifteenth century. The cutouts over the eyes, however, were inspired by Islamic helmets. The extraordinarily rich decoration, which includes cloisoone enamels and finely tooled designs in gold leaf, has close parallels in surviving Nasrid swords fittings and jewelry. The fact that the bowl has been pierced to fit the enamels and is lined with riveted plates to support them, suggests that the helmet was created exclusively for ceremonial use.
