Helmet all'Antica

Filippo Negroli

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet with a design resembling curly hair all'Antica by Filippo Negroli. The helmet is made of dark metal, likely steel or iron, with a brown patina. The curly hair design covers the entire helmet, with no visible forehead or facial features. The helmet has a small ear hole and a curved piece that covers the jaw and neck area. The curved piece has small rivets along the edges and a small latch at the bottom. The helmet sits on a cylindrical metal pole, possibly a stand or pedestal. The background is a plain gray color.
