Helmet (Kabuto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a helmet. The helmet is made of metal and is dark brown with some lighter brown and gold spots. The helmet is shaped like a dome with a point at the top. It has a small rectangular piece of metal down the center of the helmet. The helmet has a wide base that is curved slightly upwards. There are two side plates on either side of the helmet. The side plates are shaped like half circles. There are several small holes along the base of the helmet. The background is gray and gets darker at the top. The helmet appears to be an old kabuto, a type of Japanese helmet, by artist unknown as "Helmet (Kabuto)".
