Ceremonial hardened leather helmet
Ceremonial hardened leather helmet
Peru (or Bolivia), late 19th century
A rare helmet made from thick, hardened leather, hand-stitched. Its raw, archaic, and almost sculptural appearance makes it a highly evocative object, likely intended for ritual, ceremonial, or parade purposes rather than military use.
