Lower right corner...
from an article in the Met's publication. I'm sure most of you know it...
European Armor from the Imperial Ottoman Arsenal
Stuart W. Pyhrr
Metropolitan Museum Journal
Vol. 24, (1989), pp. 85-116
Published by: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1512872
If you don't know it, it's sort of horrifying... because many of the items are now lost...

Christian, I had never been aware of this article. And whilst I cannot access at this current juncture, it is a bitter-sweet moment to know that they are lost.

Len, that's a grand bacinet skull with perhaps a fragment of its visor, if it belongs with the skull at all.
