Some of these recreated helmets are amazing! Doing medieval battle reenactment and working with others who wear full harness mounted, vision is an issue. There is a tendency to ride up with visor down and as things get heated raise it up.
Very interested in the interaction of body language and the horse, I guess training the horse to the helmet was crucial, be it for sport or the field.
One thing though, being as many statues got themselves covered in paint, might some masks also have been painted? I've heard mention of eyes being picked out in white and black, anything other than that? Or would they be kept in their natural finish/and or silvered to represent the forthcoming wrath of a god?
