Bascinet
The Bascinet by Master of the Royal Armouries. A dark grey metal helmet with a pointed top and an open face, resembling a medieval bascinet. The helmet is constructed from a single piece of metal with a curved shape, tapering to a point at the top. Two small metal hinges and pins are on either side of the opening. A dark brown rusted interior is visible through the open face. Small holes around the top edge appear to be for ventilation or rivets. The surface shows signs of wear and corrosion. The background is a plain light grey color.
