Sallet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sallet by Master Georg. The image shows a medieval-style helmet. The helmet is made of metal and has a silver-gray color with darker spots and discoloration throughout. It is shaped like a helmet, with a curved top and a protruding nose guard. The helmet has a small opening for the face, with a curved edge around the mouth and nose area. There are several small holes around the helmet, likely for rivets or other attachments. The background of the image is a plain off-white color. The helmet appears to be on display on a white stand.
