Phyrgian contest

So my friend Tomburr and I are really fond of phyrgian helms and of late we have been having a contest to find the coolest one.

please post any pictures that you think dominate and please post with it the owner or maker or both.

Yea, I was looking for a pic with a side view. Let me fluff it a bit.

Somebody called me out on my love of the Phyrgian, so here are a few of my personal favorites.

Tomburr · Post by **Tomburr** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:46 pm

If you aren't craving one by now, there's something wrong with you. Needless to say, I'm partial to the blackened steel.

Tomburr · Post by **Tomburr** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 12:26 am

One more for good measure.

Except it isn't a Phyrgian helmet.

Cadfael_Mynnydd · Post by **Cadfael_Mynnydd** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 11:26 am

but it does have a shovel face so in my mind it is about 1/2 phyrgian
for me the tree main elements of a phyrgian are: pointy top. Mask or shovel face. Brim.
it has two of three and almost none of the norman type have brims so there neener neener!

Vladimir · Post by **Vladimir** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:09 pm

I am curious as to where you got the idea that a Phyrgian helmet had to have a shovel face, or any face protection at all for that matter.

Brim? Huh?

Tomburr · Post by **Tomburr** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:56 pm

He's referring to the actual Phrygian-made helmets, not the look-alike crusader helmets we've been posting.

Heath B fraychef · Post by **Heath B fraychef** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:00 pm

mine has a faceplate for two reasons first to protect me from getting his in sca combat while not looking like a bargrill.
and secondly because i have a very non scary and non intimidating look about me.
with the faceplate people will sometimes hesitate just enough.

Galvyn Lockhart · Post by **Galvyn Lockhart** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 1:10 pm

Does anyone have any more pictures of that Windrose phyrgian or know where the original thread is? Did it get swallowed up in the Great Archive Wipe of '08? That would be tragic cause that helm is just so sex-ay.

Yes, I've been obsessing since seeing it again.

No. The phrygian is defined by the forward-pointing skull. It can be just the bowl, a nasal, a shovel face, anything.

The thing you posted is not in any way shape or form a phrygian.

Cadfael_Mynnydd · Post by **Cadfael_Mynnydd** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 2:29 pm

phyrgian helms are based on the caps, no brims or faces there true enough.

you guys are buzzkills.

Effingham · Post by **Effingham** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:53 pm

Well, damn us then for thinking it matters that we mean this and not this when we say "red."

Chris Gilman · Post by **Chris Gilman** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 4:10 pm

An old one I made, with a poorly shaped skull.

Johannes · Post by **Johannes** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 4:10 pm

That black one was the first of that style we made. Without the mail, they just don't have the sex appeal IMO, but that one was special. This is one we made for Dan Bartholomew a couple years ago (please ignore the mess in the background, the pic was taken a week before Pennsic). BTW, we have a couple of these in progress that should make an appearance in a few weeks, and if anyone wants one we might be able to squeeze an order in there with them.

Cadfael_Mynnydd · Post by **Cadfael_Mynnydd** » Fri Dec 04, 2009 4:12 pm

a dammning may be going too far. eff do you have some pictures?

moninari(sp) are nearly the right shape arent they?

joking fellas no need to get those pitchforks out just yet...
