Wow! That looks like a cloth aventail with a unique separate face mask.

ahh the infamous "gimp mask" knight...

Sheesh. Not an example I'd follow. It's got so much atypicality from the neck up that I'd investigate whatever possibility there may be that severe and iconoclastic damage had occasioned an attempt at restoring face and visor.

Probably not one I need but just curios about it

Sulla,

That effigy is known to have been "restored" in the 19th century. Pay not attention to it.

I'd wondered about that difference of color of the material... and its absence there of "tourist patina." Glad someone found the record to attest to it.

K,

I have Dr. Toby's word on this one. If I recall correctly he said something like "and, of course, this one was reworked in the 19th Century, and the helmet is utter nonsense".

Ahh OK Mac that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

It sure looks similar to a bycoque, though.
