Lamellar Helmet
The lamellar helmet (German language: ''Lamellenhelm'', plural ''Lamellenhelme'') was a type of helmet used in Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Examples are characterized by caps made from overlapping lamellar armour, lamellar scales, in addition to a brow plate, cheek guards, and Aventail, camail. They are distinct from the contemporary spangenhelm and crested helmets also found in Europe; unlike those, which are influenced by Roman designs, ''Lamellenhelme'' display eastern influence and have primarily been found in southeastern Europe. They are mostly associated with the Pannonian Avars, Avars of Pannonia and the Lombards of Italy. Description ''Lamellenhelme'' are characterized by overlapping plates—a form of lamellar armour—with caps of conical shape and plumes at the top. They also tend to have brow plates, cheek pieces, and, like spangenhelme, Aventail, camail protecting the neck. The ''Lamellenhelm'' was one of three primary designs of helmets that proliferated thr ...

Lamellar Helmet From Niederstotzingen (reconstruction)
A ''lamella'' (plural ''lamellae'') is a small plate or flake, from the Latin, and may also be used to refer to collections of fine sheets of material held adjacent to one another, in a gill-shaped structure, often with fluid in between though sometimes simply a set of 'welded' plates. The term is used in biology, biological contexts to describe thin membranes of plates of tissue (biology), tissue. In context of materials science, the microscopic structures in bone and nacre are called lamellae. Moreover, the term lamella is often used as a way to describe crystal structure of some materials. Uses of the term In surface chemistry (especially mineralogy and materials science), lamellar structures are fine layers, alternating between different materials. They can be produced by chemical effects (as in eutectic solidification), biological means, or a deliberate process of lamination, such as pattern welding. Lamellae can also describe the layers of atoms in the crystal lattices of ...
