Italian crossbowman sallet of the 15th-century

Sallet (originally from Italian “celata”) is a group of medieval helmets, which gained popularity among European knights in the late XIV-XVI centuries. Such helmet evolved from bascinet and has main typical feature – elongated tail, protecting the back part of neck. Tail could be either articulated or solid; German salads got quite long tails.

Crossbowmen and archers used sallets, which were leaving a face uncovered. This model without visor has single eye slit and decorated with forehead plate. Neckguard is quite short, that is typical for Italian models of medieval sallet.  

Helmet is fixed with leather underchin belt and buckle and sewn padded liner makes wearing and fighting safe and comfortable.
