Helmet with Barred Visor

Cleveland Museum of Art

Helmet with Barred Visor by unknown artist. The helmet is made of metal, primarily silver in color with darker areas of wear. The helmet's main body covers the top and back of the head, smoothly curved with a slight protrusion at the top. A visor made of vertical bars covers the face, with 12 bars spaced evenly apart. The bottom portion of the helmet covers the neck and is shaped like a wide, curved collar. The helmet's edges are outlined with a twisted rope-like design. The helmet's surface shows signs of wear, with visible scratches and darker spots. The background behind the helmet fades from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
