Spider Helmet
The Spider Helmet by Salvador Dali is a helmet with a dome-shaped top, resembling a jellyfish. The helmet is dark grey or black. A rounded dome shape forms the top. A curved piece forms the brim. Thin metal strips radiate from the brim to form the cage. Long thin strips extend from the brim to form tentacles. The helmet sits on a white stand. The background is a plain off-white wall.
