Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal helmet titled "Cabasset" by an unknown artist. The helmet is made of silver-colored metal and has a conical shape with a narrow top that tapers to a point. The helmet's brim is wide and flat with a rope-like design around the edge. There are seven gold-colored rivets around the bottom of the helmet, three on the right side, three on the left, and one at the back, not fully visible. The helmet sits on a clear stand. The background is a plain gray color.
