Cabacete (Helmet)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Cabacete (Helmet) by artist is a metal helmet with a pointed top. The helmet is made of silver-colored metal with visible scratches and marks on its surface. It has a wide brim that curves upward slightly at the edges. The helmet's shape is conical, tapering to a point at the top. The background of the image is a gradient of dark blue to light gray. The helmet casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface the helmet sits on is light gray. There are two small holes on the front part of the helmet's brim. The helmet appears to be old and worn.
