A GERMAN COMB-MORION, EARLY 17TH CENTURY formed in two halves with a rounded skull rising to a high medial comb fitted at its nape with a plume-holder (probably later), and an integral brim turned down at each side, rising to an acute point at the front and rear (that at the front slightly bruised), and decorated around its edge with a plain inward turn, the crown encircled at its base by twelve round-headed lining-rivets with rosette-washers of brass (five missing), retaining fragments of a buff-leather lining-band, and embossed at each side with two concentric circles, the inner one enclosing a hexafoil, the outer one formed at its inner edge as a running wave-pattern, originally coloured black and white but later blackened overall (the surface showing some oxidation and wear)
