Close Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Close Helmet by an unknown artist shows a silver helmet with a rounded top and a visor that covers the face, featuring a horizontal opening for the eyes and mouth. The helmet has a weathered appearance with visible spots and marks on its surface. It is attached to a stand, positioned at an angle to display its side profile. The visor is pointed at the chin and has several small holes on its lower part. The helmet's surface exhibits signs of wear and tear, with darker spots scattered across it. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
