Medieval Bird Armor
Medieval knights have always been portrayed as powerful and intimidating, but it’s easy to see how their enemies might have chuckled a bit at the sight of their helmets as some of them were shaped like bird beaks. Can you imagine a heavy steel helmet with eye holes shaped like bird’s eyes and a beak as well as metal feathers on the sides. Even the squiggly lines under the neck and sides of the arms were inspired by birds. Regardless, they’re still pretty nifty and undoubtedly did their job in keeping the knight inside safe.
