formed in one piece with an almond-shaped crown rising at its apex to a short 'stalk' and a flat integral brim projecting to an obtuse point front and rear (the former pierced with a later wiring-hole), its edge formed with a file-roped inward turn accompanied by a narrow recessed border (one small chip), the base of the crown encircled by fourteen round-headed lining-rivets with copper alloy rosette-washers, and its surface retaining its original overall blued finish, 24.0 cm high

The morion forms one of an extensive group sold by Fenton & Sons of 11, Oxford Street, London in the 1930s for 5 guineas each. They were said by his former conservator, Theodore Egli, to have been acquired by him between the World Wars in Ireland, and may conceivably be relics of the Elizabethan wars there. For a discussion of the group providing evidence relating to their history, See Eaves 2002, pp.161-2.
