BASINET (a diminutive of " basin ")

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 480 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BASINET (a diminutive of " basin ") , a form of
helmet
  or headpiece. The
original
  small basinet was a light open cap, with a peaked crown. This was used alternately to, and even in conjunction with, the large heavy heaume. But in the latter half of the 13th
century
  the basinet was developed into a
complete
  war head-dress and replaced the heaume. In this form it was larger and heavier, had a vizor (though not always a pivoted vizor like that of the later armet), and was connected with the gorget by a " camail " or
mail
 
hood
 , the head and neck thus being entirely covered. It is always to be recognized by its peaked crown. The word is spelt in various forms, " bassinet," " bascinet," " bacinet," or " basnet." The form
bassinet " is used for the hooded wicker cradle or perambulator for babies.
