Helmet (Kabuto) by Museum of Japanese Sword Fittings. The helmet is made of metal and has a dome-shaped top. A horizontal ridge runs across the middle. Two curved pieces of metal protrude from either side at the front. A long, curved piece of metal with a repeating pattern hangs from the right side. The helmet sits on a short, square stand. The background is a plain wall and flat surface. The image is in black and white.
