Helmet with visor - Helmet with visor

Japanese: 眉庇付冑 - まびさしつきかぶと

This is a type of helmet from the Kofun period, used for a limited period from the mid-5th century to the beginning of the 6th century (Figure). Originally it was worn with a kaku-ko armor, but in Japan it was mainly worn in combination with a short armor. It has a shape similar to a baseball cap, with a semi-moon-shaped brow visor on the front of the hemispherical bowl. A hemispherical bowl is placed on top of the base plate at the top, and a receiving bowl is placed on top, connected by a tube. In addition to iron, there are many examples made of gilt bronze or iron with gilt bronze plating. Some gilt bronze parts have chisel-carved patterns. The brow marks often have a series of arcs on the outer edge, with triangular or lens-shaped openwork patterns on the inside.

古墳時代の冑の一種で，5世紀中葉から6世紀初めにかけての限られた期間に用いられた（図）。本来は，挂甲に伴う冑であるが，日本では，おもに短甲と組み合わせて用いられた。野球帽に似た形をしており，半球状の鉢の前面に半月形の眉庇がつく。頂部の伏板の上には，半球形の伏鉢を伏せ，管でつないで受鉢をのせる。鉄製のほかに，金銅製，鉄地金銅張製の例も少なくない。金銅の部分には，たがね彫文様がみられるものもある。眉疵は，外縁が弧形を連ねた形をしているものが多く，その内側に，三角形，レンズ形などを透かしている。
