This skillfully hand-crafted pre-13th century Viking helmet gets its name "Camail" from the meaning curtain-mail in which a protective curtain of chainmail is hung from the helm. This draping of chainmail, often depicted on helms in historical brass reliefs was meant to protect the neck and shoulders during battle and as with all Viking helms of the time the face area is exposed with a nasal guard. Our wearable historical life size helm is made of 18 gauge steel and is a great addition to all collections. (stand not included).
