This Spanish Horse Helmet of the 16th century by Marto is a replica reproduction of helmets used by mounted knights during the reign of Charles V and Philip II, today part of the collection of the Real Armeria (Royal Armory) in Madrid. This Spanish Horse Helmet is made of steel and characterized by eye-slits that are carved out from the front part of the skullcap, because the little visor covers only the central sector of the face. With a gorget and visor enriched by detailed engravings and a skull-cap displaying an elaborate figure in bas relief,, this helm is as much an artistic piece as it is representative of the helms used during the 16th century.
