While this figure may beg for snarkiness, that overturned wash pail on this guys head was a thing at one time. Called the Crusader Helmet, Great Helm, Bucket Helm, or Barrel Helm its simplest form is the one seen here on this figure. A flat-topped cylinder plopped on the head with only a couple of slits for the eyes. It was in use from the late 12th century to the 15th century. This figure from Britains DSG appears to be a modification of the lancer wearing the skull cap (Lancer #1 featured yesterday) as all other parts of the casting are identical save for the helmet.
