Bascinet Helmet – Steel

The bascinet – also bassinet, basinet, or bazineto, was a Medieval European open-faced combat helmet.
It evolved from a type of iron or steel skullcap, but had a more pointed apex to the skull, and it extended downwards at the rear and sides to afford protection for the neck.
A mail curtain (aventail or camail) was usually attached to the lower edge of the helmet to protect the throat, neck and shoulders

First reference to a bascinet, was in the Italian city of Padua in 1281, being worn by infantry. The bascinet evolved from the cervelliere.
