A Cervelliere depicted on a coat of arms.

The cervelliere is a round, close-fitting steel skull cap. It was worn as a helmet during the medieval period. It was first introduced during the late 13th century and was usually worn under a great helm. However the helmet continued to evolve and by the 1330s had evolved completely into the bascinet.
