Edo Samurai Helmet

The realistic Edo-period helmet is an exceptional work of craftsmanship, merging warrior functionality with meticulous aesthetics. Forged from metal, it features intricate ornamentation, such as maedate (forehead crests) depicting mythical creatures or family symbols. Metal slats protect the forehead and neck, while the shikoro, a piece of protection for the neck, provides all-round defense. The meticulous details, artistic engravings, and lacquer finishes add a touch of splendor to this helmet, demonstrating the refinement of Edo-period craftsmanship.
