Description
Below is Mongolian, generally dated 12th-14th century, of iron and what has always fascinated me about it, is that is seems to have had a hole for the manââ¬â¢s actual mustache to go through. Partly though, I suspect it could have been a placement for a separate, elaborate fake mustache which hid ties hold the mask onto a larger helmet.
