Item details

Life-size Armor Helmet

A helmet with a sun disc crest, finished in matte black lacquer with ten large star ridges, each ridge adorned with large circular star motifs, complemented by a sun disc crest decoration. The helmet, cuirass, and chain components are made of iron, while the kuwagata (antler-like crest), crest, and decorative fittings are gilded brass. The armor stand and armor cabinet are made of wood. The assembly of the helmet and the connection of the decorative cords are all handcrafted by skilled artisans. The overall height is approximately 170 cm, with the armor cabinet measuring approximately 41.5 cm in height, 41.5 cm in width, and 60 cm in depth. The armor stand measures approximately 38 cm in width and 86.5 cm in height. The helmet weighs approximately 2.1 kg with an inner diameter of about 18 cm, and the cuirass and sleeves weigh approximately 7.6 kg, with a total weight of approximately 21 kg. The set includes one armor helmet, an armor cabinet, and an armor stand. It is intended for display only and has never been worn, but due to long-term preservation, it may exhibit dullness and stains consistent with its age.
