This Japanese samurai helmet, from the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603 CE), is covered with boar bristles and adorned with gilded stag antlers. The heart-shaped decorative element above the visor is an inome, a stylized representation of a boar’s eye, used to ward off evil [1080×1920]

Now housed at the Samurai Museum in Berlin.
Did they really fight in these ? Or are they just for show ? It seems like a bad idea to add a lever on top of something stuck to your head.
What is with the noose?
