There are areas where the lacquer on the helmet is peeling off.
This type of helmet is called a zunarikabuto, and it began to be used in the late Muromachi period.
Conventional helmets were very expensive and inefficient to produce due to the large number of parts they consisted of, but the introduction of this helmet, which was made by joining several iron plates together, made it the de facto standard helmet for samurai during the Sengoku period.
A maetate modeled after a komainu (guardian lion dog) is included.
