Description
A lightweight iron helmet with a little artistic flair to it in kitsune style. It's clearly a second-hand piece, far too embellished to have been something a conscript from the peasantry or even the middle class might have owned; one wonders what happened to the previous owner, quite possibly an ocean away. The metal itself is thin, relying more on its structure to spread out blows rather than absorbing it with sheer material bulk; the inside has been padded with cloth akin to a gambeson.
Either way, it's clear that the helmet's been designed for a kitsune or tanuki, considering the little ears sticking out to either side. While weakening the helmet's ability to spread out the shock of blows, being effectively deafened while wearing it isn't a price that the intended wearer was willing to pay.
