lobster-tailed pot
noun lobster-tailed pots
-
A European combat helmet, worn especially from the 1600s into the 1700s, consisting of a rounded skull-piece, often cheek guards and a nasal or face-guard, and a laminated defence (or single plate ridged to imitate lames) to protect the back of the neck that resembled a lobster's tail.
They wore a back-and-front breastplate over a buff leather coat, which itself gave some protection against sword cuts, and normally a "lobster-tailed pot" helmet with a movable three-barred visor, and a bridle gauntlet on the left hand.
