Lamellar helmet

The Lamellenhelm was a type of helmet used in Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Examples are characterized by caps made from overlapping lamellar scales, in addition to a brow plate, cheek guards, and camail. They are distinct from the contemporary spangenhelm and crested helmets also found in Europe and are mostly assosciated with the Avars of Pannonia and the Lombards of Italy.^[1]^[2]
