I'm making more sets of forehead "crash pads" for longsword fencing. The forehead is a frequent target, and a sword to the mask can leave some dents!
But this is a piece of armor that attaches to the mask (with foam padding underneath) that will help cushion the blow. 
And since it's armor for swordfighting, why not put a swordsman on the piece? This man in his fancy pants is standing in a guard, ready to strike a fearsome blow. 
Note the swivel knife for scale, and the printed woodcut to the right, which was the traced source for this. Working in miniature is a pain!

Very nice work indeed! Somehow most of my tooling projects have involved miniature work so I feel your pain!

Ok, got both panels tooled, dyed, and assembled. 
Here's the result, just sitting on the proper place of a mask:
