A still-powerful metal helmet with chainmail from Mughal India. Fine
gilt filigree designs can still be seen along the edge where the
tattered chainmail hangs and tall ostrich feathers would have formerly
been attached to the top. Inside, fine red silk velvet cradled the head
- please see photos below. It measures 8" in diameter and is 17" tall.
Early 19th century or earlier.
