Ear Pieces of a Helmet
Two silver metal pieces, titled "Ear Pieces of a Helmet", adorned with gold rivets and gold starburst-shaped decorations, resembling protective gear; artist unknown. The pieces are symmetrical, with a curved top edge and a flared bottom edge. Each piece has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The gold rivets are spherical and evenly spaced across the surface. The gold decorations are positioned on the upper center of each piece. The background transitions from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The pieces are positioned side by side, angled slightly outward. They appear to be part of a helmet, specifically designed to cover the ears.
