A bascinet or basinet was a 14th and 15th century light helmet, generally conical in shape and without a visor, which was so named from its similarity in appearance to a basin. Sometimes a detachable visor was fitted, these were often pointed with slits for the wearer to see through and perforated to enable breathing.
