The medieval military helmet known as the bascinet or bassinet had a wide distribution in European countries during this period, coming in an open-faced variety. This particular design is thought to be derived from the skullcap-style headgear used for defense purposes but was characterized by a more angular and pointed appearance compared to its predecessors. Its lower portion, which wrapped around the sides of the neck and at the back, added protection for this area, providing increased safety in combat situations.
