Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by artist unknown. The helmet is silver-colored metal with a conical top having a sharp point. The dome of the helmet is smooth and rounded. There are two gold-colored teardrop shaped pieces on the left side. A gold band runs around the base of the dome. The bottom half of the helmet is made of interlocking metal rings that form a curtain of chainmail, with long strips hanging down. The background is gray.
