norman calotteThis type of calotte developed from the nasal helmet in the second half of the 12th century. The calotte provided protection for the entire face. The visor was fitted with viewing and ventilation holes. These helmets were usually worn in combination with a chaimail hauberk and a chainmail coif. Helmets of this type remained in use until the first half of the 13th century. This Norman calotte is a replica of medieval originals depicted in manuscripts
