Kettle hats, especially this kind of one:
I think it's because I really like the look of brodie helmets that the British used during both WWs, and since the design was inspired from the kettle hat, I've developed quite a feel for it too. It also contributes a lot to why the Rhodoks are my favourite faction in Warband, with their sharpshooters using these and all, I just love it.
Then you'll probably like this guy's artwork, he's a fan of kettle hats as well.

Comrade, I'm sorry to tell you it's not true what you're saying. It is not from Boabdil, but from Philip I of Castile, "the Beautiful One". You can check it here: https://www.patrimonionacional.es/c...a/celada-de-felipe-i-de-castilla-el-hermoso-0
[...] Because of the orientalizing character of the decoration it was also linked in the nineteenth century without foundation to Boabdil, the last sultan of Muslim Granada.

I have never seen this piece before, extremely exotic in my eyes. I would not dare to bet this time, only to point out the beauty of it. Thanks for sharing mate.
You're welcome, I only found out about it recently,
indeed, it looks very bizzare and impressive!
