Coventry Sallet

The Coventry Sallet is a 15th-century helmet now on display at Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.

[2] It has a short tail and a jawbone type visor with a brow reinforcing.

[4] Stylistically, it is termed a "high crowned" helmet, different from the style usually seen in Italy or Germany.

[2] For a period it was kept on display at St Mary's Hall, Coventry, and is now shown at the city's Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.

[2] Very few pieces of English-made armour survive from this period; the Coventry Sallet is believed to be the only example of its type in England.
