The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Close-Helmet for the Tournament on Foot by Master Paulus. Gray metal helmet with a rounded top and a protrusion at the top center. The helmet has a horizontal opening for the face, with two narrow slots for vision. The surface features etched designs and patterns, including lines, shapes, and figures. There are ventilation holes on the lower front part of the helmet, grouped in a curved line. A small protrusion is on the left side, possibly for attaching a strap. The background is a gradient gray.
