Product Description: This model of a Jousting Helmet on a base is made from resin that is hand painted and measures 7cm tall. The base is inscribed with the words "Jousting Helm". The model is supplied in a white box with a label identifying it on the front.
Information: The jousting helmet appeared around 1400AD and lasted into the first quarter of the 16th century. Mounted knights primarily used it for jousting tournaments rather than on the battlefield. During jousting, the helmet offered a better degree of protection from lances that would splinter after impact with the rival’s body armour.
