The Sallet by Jörg Wagner: Metal helmet, silver-gray in color, with a rounded top, sloping to a point at the back. The helmet has a wide brim that curves upwards at the back and a T-shaped faceplate with a horizontal slit across the middle. The faceplate covers the forehead and nose but leaves the lower face exposed. A vertical plate on the left side of the helmet extends from the faceplate to the top. The helmet surface shows signs of wear and tear, with visible scratches, dents, and dark spots. The helmet sits atop a long, thin, cylindrical metal pole. The background is a solid gray color.
