Schwere, zweiteilig geschlagene Kalotte mit hohem gebördelten Kamm. Im Nacken originale vernietete Federbuschtülle aus Eisen. Am unteren Rand umlaufende Futternieten mit Zierrosetten aus Messing. Spitz zulaufende, nach unten geneigte Krempe mit gebördeltem Rand. Ganzflächig originale Kaltbemalung in Goldfarbe, auf dem Kamm mittig das sächsische Wappen, umgeben von Rankendekor.

Schöner Helm in unberührtem Originalzustand. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass er ursprünglich für einen Offizier einer kleineren Stadtgarde in Sachsen gefertigt wurde. Als Vorbild dienten wohl damals die prachtvoll vergoldeten, in Nürnberg gefertigten Helme der bekannten Trabantengarde des Kurfürsten Christian I. von Sachsen.

Heavy, two-piece skull with high turned comb. In the nape original riveted plume socket of iron. At the lower edge continuous lining rivets with decorative brass rosettes. Pointed, slanted brim with turned edge. Copiously covered with original cold-painting in gold colour, in the centre the Saxon coat of arms surrounded by scrollwork. The skull and brim equally decorated with tendrils. Darkened or rubbed in places. The inside with remnants of the original leather lining. Height 31 cm.
Beautiful helmet in untouched original condition. It may be assumed that it was initially crafted for an officer of a small town guard in Saxony. It was probably modelled after the lavishly gilt helmets fashioned in Nuremberg for the well-known trabant guard of Elector Christian I of Saxony.
