Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cabasset by an unknown artist is a grey metal helmet. The helmet is dome-shaped and has a smooth surface with some scratches and marks. It has a narrow brim that is curved upwards at the back and sides, forming two pointed projections. The helmet has rivets around the edge of the brim, and the interior is not visible. The helmet is mounted on a long, thin, white stand. The background is a plain gray color.
