A Highly Rare and Important Bavarian 'Black' Sallet, ca. 1490

[A Senefelder]

This is one of the most often shown examples of the type. This particular type of sallet, munitions to be honest, made large and simply, left rough from the hammer are also a good source of examples of painted armour. Not many of the type survive ( the knight is shown wearing one in Durer's " The Kignt, Death and the Devil ) put most are painted.
