The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Multi-Plate Helmet of Thirty-One Lames by an unknown artist is a helmet with a ribbed, dome-shaped top that is dark gray with gold accents. The helmet has a short, rounded finial on top. The ribbed sections are separated by narrow gold lines and small gold rivets. A small, decorative gold band encircles the base of the finial. A dark metal visor is attached on the right side. The helmet's bottom edge has a dark metal rim with a horizontal gold band. The background is light grey.
