The image features "Sallet" by an unnamed artist. The helmet is made of metal and appears to be silver-gray in color with a weathered appearance. The helmet has a rounded top and a curved shape that follows the contours of a human head. It has a T-shaped opening for the face, with the top of the T extending down from the top of the helmet to the nose and the horizontal part of the T extending outwards to the sides of the helmet, just in front of the ears. The surface of the helmet shows signs of wear and tear, with visible pitting, scratches, and darker spots scattered across it. There are several small holes around the surface, some of which appear to be drilled. The background is a plain off-white color, providing a neutral contrast to the helmet. The helmet seems to be displayed on a pole or stand, which is not fully visible.
