Metal helmet with a rounded top and a projecting visor. The visor has two small holes on either side near the end. The helmet is secured by leather straps on the left side. The metal is gray with visible scratches and scuffs. Two engravings are on the right side of the helmet: one appears to be heraldic and the other resembles a crowned crest or coat of arms. The background is a solid light beige color. Title: Armet with Wrapper. Artist unknown.
