About the Item

Very rare wooden helmet-bearing head, datable between the 13th and 14th centuries, extraordinary evidence of medieval material culture. This object, carved with essential and primitive lines, was used to support parade or combat helmets, protecting their shape and integrity. The work measures 22 cm in height and is made of antique wood, which has a wonderful patina of time and natural wear consistent with centuries gone by. The head is characterized by stylized features: almond-shaped engraved eyes, prominent nose, and barely noticeable mouth, typical of Romanesque aesthetics and an archaic and powerful artistic language. A rare and striking object, perfect for medieval art collectors, museums or ancient history enthusiasts who wish to enrich their spaces with an authentic and fascinating artifact. 📌 An intact fragment of the Middle Ages, a unique piece that tells centuries of history.
