You mean this one; http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/bnpu/ho_04.3.228.htm?

No I don't think that is the one, it may be though - anyway it is very similar to the Dutch one. The fluted/twisted top must have taken some time and skill to make. It is a very beautiful helmet.

Here is another picture of a kettlehat/early morion http://www.arador.com/gallery/friend13.jpg, from The Cleveland Museum of Art, dated 1400-1468(?!). I guess that explains what the holes in the brim of the kettlehat in Hisham's first post in this thread is there for.

Thank you! As luck would have it, I found the image already on my system as well. They're likely both from the same original source.

That's really a beautiful piece, at least the original one. The replicas are missing some details.

It almost looks like a mixture of a morion and a kettle hat. A very useful design, that is :)
Good protection from blows/arrows from the side and above. When someone is trying to strike your face, you just do the turtle ;)

Arms and Armour of the Medieval Knight (by David Edge) and also The Armourer and his Craft (Charles Ffoukes) both refer to this type of bevor (specifically made for a chapel de fer) as a BARBOTE (note the O!). Apparently they were very popular in Spain.

I do plan to make one to match my wifes kettle hat when I get a chance.
(number 1004 on the list of things to make or do! :D
