Cabasset 1580-1600
One piece bowl with small stalk at the point (hammered in), central crease. Brim trimmed. Small fall and neck lame riveted inside the bowl to replace the brim. Line of holes at the base of the skull for (lost) lining rivets. Oxidized overall. The material in the fall and tail appears to be old, so this may be a working life "update" to take an out of fashion cabasset and make it into a primitive 17th c. pot helmet.
