Cavalry Spider Helmet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black Cavalry Spider Helmet by artist unidentified. The helmet is made of metal, with a domed top and a flat brim. The helmet has a cage-like structure covering the top and sides, with multiple vertical bars spaced evenly apart. The bars are thin and curved, resembling the legs of a spider. There are eight long, thin, metal strips hanging down from the helmet, four on each side, which are also curved. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
