It has several exceptional features, including the raised lobe at the front of the helmet bowl (a type generally known as zenshzan); the wide and elegant form of the neck guard; and the presence of cheekpieces and a secondary nape defense. Its remarkable similarities to actual helmets from the Muromachi period suggests that it was made by an armorer who had carefully studied and fully understood the defining characteristics of those earlier works..
