Gjermundbu Helmet

|
Vikings were seafaring warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, the British Isles and other parts of Europe from the late 8th century to the 11th century. The Gjermundbu Helm, is based on a classic Viking helm found in a Norwegian burial mound. Found in nine fragments, the helm has been re-constructed and is now housed in the Museum of National Antiquites in Oslo. It dates from around 970 CE and is considered to be the finest helm found of that era. The "spectacles" (offically "occularia"), provided excellent facial and nasal protection, while chain mail provided flexible protection to the back and sides of the neck. As with the original, our Gjermundbu helm is provided with a leather chin strap.
