War Hat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The War Hat by an unknown artist is a silver-colored metal helmet. The helmet has a tall, pointed top and a wide brim that curves downwards. The brim is wider at the front and back, with a slight curve upwards at the edges. The helmet appears to be made of metal, possibly steel or iron, with visible scratches and marks on its surface. A long, thin metal rod protrudes from the base of the helmet, likely used for display purposes. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
