Siege Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Siege Helmet by an unknown artist is a dark grey metal helmet. The helmet has a rounded top and a wide brim. A vertical crack runs down the middle of the helmet from the top almost to the brim. The surface of the helmet shows signs of wear and tear, with visible scratches and scuffs. The helmet appears to be mounted on a thin, white stand. The background is a plain grey color.
