Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cabasset by an unknown artist is a helmet with a rounded top and a brim that curves slightly upwards. The helmet has a green and gold color with visible signs of wear and tear. A lion-like figure with a halo is painted on the right side of the helmet, while a shield or crest is on the left. The helmet features a series of rivets around the edge of the brim. A rectangular section of text is on the lower right side. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
