Daisho Kake Kabuto Helmet by Paul Chen – Hanwei

This Samurai helmet is recreated from a museum piece; crafted with great attention to detail this eye-fetching Kabuto is a natural centerpiece to a collection and it is also fully wearable. The helmet is 18 gauge steel with a finish in an antiqued, grayed mauve color; the plates are articulated with thick and colorful cotton cordage and the helmet is both padded and lined on the inside. The Menpo face mask is removable and is completed with a genuine horse hair moustache. The helmet is finished with a horned Oni demon head of antiqued brass and genuine pheasant feathers – both of these can be removed if desired. Included is a wooden display stand.
