Gorean War Helmet:
The usual Gorean helmet encloses much of the head, with a "Y" shaped aperture for the eyes and front of the face, rather like certain early Greek helmets, from which they may be derived.
Quotes:
Above the shield was a suspended helmet, again reminiscent of a Greek helmet, perhaps of the Homeric period. It had a somewhat 'Y'-shaped slot for the eyes, nose, and mouth in the nearly solid metal. There was a savage dignity about it, with the shield and spears, all of them stable on the wall, as if ready, like the famous colonial rifle over the fireplace, for instant use; they were all polished and gleamed dully in the half light. ---Tarnsman of Gor, p 22
The helmet was bronze, worked in the Greek fashion, with a unitary opening somewhat in the shape of a Y. ---Outlaw of Gor, p 21
Conical Helms and colored chains:
Quotes:
I could see he carried a small, round, leather shield, glossy, black, lacquered; he wore a conical, fur-rimmed iron helmet, a net of colored chains depending from the helmet protecting his face, leaving only holes for the eyes. ---Nomads of Gor, 2:
Northern Helms:
Quotes:
I could see helmeted men at its gunwales, some five feet above the water line. The helmets of the north are commonly conical, with a nose-guard, that can slip up and down. At the neck and sides, attached by rings, usually hangs a mantle of linked chain. ---Marauders of Gor, 5:
The helmet of Thorgard himself, however, covered his neck and the sides of his face. It was horned. ---Marauders of Gor, 5:
Then from his chests, within the hall, he had given me a long, swirling cloak of the fur of sea sleen; a bronze-headed spear; a shield of painted wood, reinforced with bosses of iron; the shield was red in color, the bosses enameled yellow; a helmet, conical, of iron, with hanging chain, and a steel nosepiece, that might be raised and lowered in its bands; and, too, a shirt and trousers of skin; and, too, a broad ax, formed in the fashion of Torvaldsland, large, curved, single-bladed; and four rings of gold, that might be worn on the arm. ---Marauders of Gor, 6:
