Lobster-Tail Burgonet (Zischägge)
The Lobster-Tail Burgonet, created by an unknown artist, is a historical helmet with a dark gray or metallic color. It features a rounded top with a short finial on top. The helmet has a series of vertical ridges running down its center. A large, curved extension projects from the back of the helmet, resembling a tail. Two long, curved pieces of metal protrude from the sides of the helmet, one on each side. The helmet has a faceplate that covers the lower part of the face. The entire helmet is adorned with rows of small, round rivets. A long, thin piece of metal extends from the right side of the helmet. The helmet sits atop a white cylindrical stand. The background is a solid beige color.
