samurai helmet
Feudal combat crown
A samurai helmet is the distinctive headgear worn by Japanese warriors, featuring a bowl-shaped crown, protective neck guard, and often elaborate crests or horns.
Called *kabuto* in Japanese, these helmets combined practical defense with displays of status and intimidation.
The term appears in historical contexts and describes decorative replicas: a samurai helmet mounted on the wall.
