For #Feathersday: two examples of kuluh khuds (cap helmets) with built-in plume holders, here adorned with peacock feathers, on display at the Reading Public Museum (PA, USA):

Kulah Khud (Helmet) Persian, 17th - 18th century, steel & gold Dimensions: Overall (including mail): 22 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. (57.2 x 21.6 cm) Overall (not including mail): 9 3/4 x 8 1/2 in. (24.8 x 21.6 cm)

"This armor design dates from the Qajar period (1785 – 1925), when Iran waged many wars with Imperial Russia, which resulted in Iran losing much territory to Russia and the British Empire. This helmet is inscribed with a hunting design and figures sitting and conversing. The riveted rim has a protective hanging mail neck guard and adjustable nose piece. The crown has two plume holders and the gold-inlaid crest plate features a quadrangular spike."

Kulah Khud (Helmet) Abyssinian, 18th - 19th century, steel & enamel Dimensions: Overall: 10 x 7 in. (25.4 x 17.8 cm)

"This helmet was most likely used for ceremonial purposes. The typical top spike seen on battle helmets is replaced in this instance by an ornamental peacock head. The helmet’s surface is made up of open-work with a red enamel layer beneath. Although the hanging mail neck guard is missing, the small rivet holes are visible."

3D Printing : The Concept

For the 3d printing assignment, I decided to modify a well known prop i.e., The helmet of The Mandalorian. I decided to give the helmet a Mughal twist. So i started with gathering references. The Mughal "Kulah Khuds" had some beautiful ornamental Patterns which suited the style i was going for. Once I gathered enough references I started with the sculpting process.

Dear helmets of Tumblr, I have a difficult time placing names on various Islamic/Middle Eastern/Oriental/whatever helmets, a problem that does not exist for western helmets (as you should know, for you are all sapient named helmets). Would you be so kind to list some pictures as well as names?

There are basically two major types of middle eastern helmet that are popular through most of time. You have the Chichak

also known as the turban helmet, which tends to have this pointed, conical shape, and the kulah khud

which tends to be much more domed, and rarely has plates to protect the face, only maille.

Chilta hazar masha (coat of a thousand nails), kulah khud (helmet), bazu band (arm guards). Indian armored clothing made from layers of fabric faced with velvet and studded with numerous small brass nails, which were often gilded. Fabric armor was very popular in India because metal became very hot under the Indian sun. This example has additional armor plates on the chest area, arms, and thighs.
