Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cabasset by an unknown artist shows a bronze-colored helmet with a rounded top and a narrow brim. The helmet is decorated with gold-colored etchings and patterns throughout its surface. The etchings appear to depict various scenes and figures. The bottom edge of the helmet features a decorative gold-colored trim with small holes spaced evenly apart. The helmet sits atop a white stand with a reflective surface at the base. The background is a plain light gray color.
