Good point Fernando, and well placed. While the Dutch artist devised a fantastic helmet with the artists inventiveness and brush, the Portuguese example was a reality. One can only wonder if such other helmets were seen or known to these Dutch individuals, or whether such helmets were quite rarely seen and the embellishment was purely coincidental.
