Burgonet in Oriental Fashion
The helmet has a dome-shaped top with a curved brim and a nasal guard. The helmet is made of metal, likely steel or iron, and features a dark brown patina with gold accents. A curved fin or crest adorns the top left side, while a long, thin piece of metal extends from the front of the helmet, serving as a nasal guard. The helmet's surface is adorned with rows of rivets, as well as a pattern of raised dots and circles. A curved plate covers the back of the neck. The helmet appears to be in a state of wear and tear, with visible signs of aging and use. The title of the helmet is "Burgonet in Oriental Fashion" by an unknown artist.
