Description
The Kazakh helmet traditionally had a pointed shape with a thick felt lining that served as additional protection. From the pommel of the helmet to the tip of the warrior's nose, a copper strip-arrow fell, protecting the face from a cross-cut of a sword or saber. By the way, a significant part of the steel helmets in Deshti-Kipchak was imported from Central Asia, East Turkestan and Persia and was very expensive. Therefore, until the 19th century, iron helmets protected the heads of professional warriors and tribal nobility, while the majority of ordinary sarbaz had helmets made of copper.
