The "Siege Helmet" by an unknown artist is a dark grey metal helmet. The helmet has a rounded top with a seam down the middle. Two large circular eye holes are on either side of the seam. A small horizontal slit serves as a mouth hole. A curved visor extends from the bottom of the helmet. The helmet sits on a short stand. The background is a plain grey color.
