EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval history - the Kettle hat, or war hat, dating back to around 1460. Crafted from sturdy steel, this Italian School masterpiece measures 30.3x25.9x17.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Kettle hat was an essential part of a medieval infantryman's armor, particularly those brave souls who dared to scale the formidable walls of fortified towns. Its open design provided both protection and visibility during intense battles. One cannot help but admire the intricate metalwork that went into creating this helmet. The rivet holes along its ridge served as attachment points for a liner, ensuring comfort amidst chaos on the battlefield. As we gaze upon this striking artifact, it transports us back to an era where knights clad in shining armor fought valiantly for honor and glory. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by our ancestors during times of conflict. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift, visitors at the Cleveland Museum of Art can now marvel at this exceptional example of militaria firsthand. This photograph captures not only its historical significance but also highlights its artistic beauty - a testament to human ingenuity even in times marked by warfare.
