The celata (better known as a sallet) helmet was developed during the early 15th Century and became the replacement for the earlier bascinet. While particularly popular in Germany, where it eventually took on the iconic Gothic style, it remained relatively popular in the rest of Europe. 

It is currently believed that the design was first developed in Northern Italy, where the first reference to the celata is first referenced in an inventory of arms and armour of the Gonzaga family, dated to 1407. Early versions were similar to a bascinet without an aventail or visor, eventually developing into the Corinthian style barbute (barbuta). Later versions were developed with a visor, though these were predominantly used by cavalry. 

The celata continued to be popular until the early 16th Century, where it was eventually replaced by the burgonet. 

This version of the celata retains the early open face and the slight taper at the back of the helmet to protect the neck, and is made from 14 gauge steel.
