Comb Morion ca. 1600 German This example is one of a series of morions etched with the arms of the cooper's guild: a pair of compasses opened above a short-handled cooper's ax and supported by two goats. Helmets emblazoned with the heraldic arms of an individual ruler, an aristocratic house, or even a municiplity are commonplace (see, for example, acc. nos. , , , and ), but this group is the only one recorded as bearing the emblem of a craft guild. These helmets are traditionally said to come from Comb Morion 26515
