Vollgesichtshelm

German to English Other Poetry & Literature Fantasy/armour
There are various terms in the following sentence where I understand what they mean but don't know if there's a specific word for them in English. It's from a fantasy novel:

"Neben der Tür, die zu Fürst Alchovis Schlafgemach führte, stand ein Waffen- und Rüstungsständer aus Holz, der einen großen Rundschild mit dem Wappen der Alchovi in der Mitte, eine in allen Farben des Regenbogens schimmernde Plattenrüstung, einen **Vollgesichtshelm** aus demselben seltenen Material mit weißen Federn geschmückt und das Schwert des Nordens hielt, das den Namen Iskrascheer trug."
