DESCRIPTION

Highly detailed 3D model of the Norman nasal helmet forged from a single metal plate, accompanied by a separate chainmail coif model for added realism and versatility.

This historical helmet, famously depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry during the Norman conquest of England in 1066, is recreated here with carefully crafted modeling and realistic PBR texturing to achieve museum-level accuracy.

Model Features:

Historically researched and accurately modeled based on archaeological references.

High-quality PBR texturing with two included variations:

Polished version: clean, metallic, and functional appearance.

Worn version: with scratches, dents, and battle patina for a more realistic aged look.

Clean topology optimized for rendering, VR/AR, animation, and game engines.

Historical Context:

The Norman nasal helmet became the standard military headgear across Western Europe from the 9th to the 12th century. Its one-piece conical design with an integrated nasal guard marked a significant improvement over earlier segmented helmets (spangenhelms). The design provided excellent balance between protection, visibility, and comfort on the battlefield.

This model was carefully researched and inspired by real archaeological examples, ensuring both historical authenticity and professional-quality presentation.

Perfect for:Historical visualization projects.

Medieval video games and realistic animation.

VR/AR applications.
