	Barbut(North Italian, ca. 1450-60)[1]

Barbute

A barbute is a visorless war helmet of fifteenth century Italian design, often with distinctive "T" shaped or "Y" shaped opening for the eyes and mouth. The barbute resembles classical Greek helmets and may have been influenced by a renewed interest in ancient artifacts.

The helmets of Gondorian soldiers in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy closely resemble barbutes.
