Silver helmet with a weathered appearance, featuring a distinctive shape with a pointed top and a curved, wide brim that flares out at the bottom. The helmet has a T-shaped opening for the face, with the top part of the T forming an elongated rectangle that serves as an eye slit, and the bottom part of the T extending down as a nasal guard. The helmet is secured with rivets along its edges and around the face opening. A long, narrow piece of metal is attached on the right side, covering the cheek and ear area, secured by rivets at the top and bottom. The helmet appears to be made of metal with a weathered, slightly darkened patina, giving it an aged look. Small rivets are visible across the surface. The background is a plain gray color. The title of the image is Barbute by Bernardino da Carnago.
