Thank you so much for coming in Ulfberth
I have actually browsed the Met to know things about cabassets but didn't spot this magnificent example you now show us.
So i went back there and this tome i found it. I will add another picture, which i find interesting due to an inscription that reads "UBOLDO", a comune in Lombardia where most certainly this cabasset owner belonged. One thing the museum text doesn't mention and i take as most plausible is that, this ended up being a funerary item ... both for the Latin inscription and the fact that one doesn't go battling with such a delicately decorated helmet. The owner would become a preferential pray, as everyone would be trying to take him down and bring home such fine work of art
