Sallet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver-colored metal helmet, titled "Sallet" by an unknown artist. The helmet is made of metal and has a silver color with darker spots and holes scattered across its surface. The helmet is shaped to fit the head, with a curved top and a protruding lip around the bottom edge that curves outward at the front. The front edge of the helmet on the right side angles inward, while the left side protrudes outward in a point. The helmet is positioned on a white stand, with a plain white background. The helmet appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and wear. The surface of the helmet reflects light, particularly on the top center. There are several small holes and dents on the surface of the helmet. The overall shape of the helmet is rounded, with a smooth, curved surface.
