A French Burgonet
A Burgonet for a Cuirassier, French, Circa 1610-20.
Decoration: The skull is boldly embossed with two lateral ribs rising up from beneath the arms of the peak, and meeting the comb at an angle of 90 degrees, forming a cruciform design. Both the ribs and the comb are boldly file-roped, as are all turned edges on the peak, cheek pieces and neckguard. The roping of the comb is carried down onto the peak, where it is embossed to accommodate it. The turned edges of the peak, neckguard and lower edges of the cheek pieces have sunken bands, while these bands are simply suggested on the leading edges of the cheek pieces by a single engraved line.
