IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING MADE FOR WEAR IN PROCESSIONS ALONG WITH THE ARMOR ,WEAPONS ECT. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY WOULD BE MADE FOR USE IN A MOVIE. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT A REAL SPANISH HELMET MADE FOR WAR AND CAPTURED BY THE MORO IN BATTLE. A REAL ONE WOULD BE MADE OF HEAVY STEEL NOT COPPER OR BRASS , I AM SURE THERE ARE SOME PROCESSIONS OR CELEBRATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES WHERE SUCH ITEMS WOULD BE USED AS THE OCCUPATION AND WARS WITH SPAIN WAS PART OF THEIR HISTORY. PERHAPS SOME OF OUR PHILIPPINE MEMBERS CAN GIVE MORE INFORMED INFORMATION.
IF IT IS INDEED ONE THAT WAS USED IN SUCH PROCESSIONS AND EVENTS IT WOULD BE RARE BUT NOT AS RARE AS A OLD HELMET CAPTURED IN BATTLE FROM THE SPANISH. ETHINOGRAPHIC AND A NICE ITEM EITHER WAY
