Arabian Barbute


Now I'm not sure this helmet as a real historical equivalent at all, although did find a few images of turbans wrapped around helmets.

Its open faced barbute in style, made from plastic with a plastic ring around the crown to give a turban style Arabic look and then painted.


The helm was found within a batch of theatre kit, unlabelled or marked so who knows what it was used for.


Now its part of larp kit.
