Armet

Guillem Margot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Armet by Guillem Margot shows a silver-colored metal helmet with a distinctive shape. The helmet features a rounded top and a long, pointed snout or beak-like protrusion at the front. There are numerous small holes along the lower front portion. A horizontal slit serves as the eye opening. The surface of the helmet exhibits visible scratches and marks, suggesting wear and tear. A crack runs along the top and down one side. The helmet has a neck guard that curves inward. It is mounted on a thin, straight metal pole extending from the bottom. The background is a plain gray color.
