Casque arabe - Casque demi-lune nord-africain

The Arab helmet, or North African helmet, is a helmet developed in North Africa and the Middle East during the Middle Ages, appearing in the first half of the 12th century and often depicted in art.

In Arab-Islamic culture, the crescent moon is a powerful emblem. Initially linked to astronomy and the phases of the lunar calendar, it became the religious and cultural symbol of Islam thanks to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, which popularized its use on flags and mosques.

The Arab helmet is handcrafted from fully wearable carbon steel, the type used by heavy cavalry during the Middle Ages (available in 1.2 mm or 2 mm thickness). The crescent moon is welded to the skull for exceptional stability.

For maximum comfort, the interior is lined with padded leather and features a chin guard. This design is ideal for combat as well as for medieval reenactment parades.

A stainless steel version of the Medieval Knight's Helmet is available upon request for an additional charge.

Medieval helmets underwent many modifications throughout the Middle Ages because the art of armor making was highly developed. Different knights and nobles of the time had their own distinctive styles, as if they were participating in a style competition in addition to a military one.
